Connecting the Printer
S E L E C T I N G A C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D
You can connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless connection. The
method that you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network. A USB connection is a direct
connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used to connect to a network. If you are using a
network connection, it is important to understand how your computer is connected to the network.
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers, network hubs,
network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be
purchased separately.

connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as a network connection.

connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer. A connection
through a router or network switch is required. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more computers and
supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet connection is typically faster than USB and
allows you direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.

printer to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network connection provides the same access and
services as a wired connection provides. A wireless network connection is typically faster than USB and allows
direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.
