PRINTER DRIVERS > 11
This port requires a cable conforming to USB version 1.1 or
above. A genuine cable displays the Trident symbol on both
connectors.
Using an inferior cable can cause printing problems and
special cables are needed for longer runs than five metres
.
The operation of a printer is not assured if a USB compatible
device is connected concurrently with other USB compatible
machines.
When connecting multiple printers of the same type, they
appear as *****, ***** (2), ***** (3), etc. These numbers
depend on the order of connecting or turning on each printer.
CONNECTING THE USB CABLE
Due to the number of possible variants of operating systems it is not
possible to describe every combination.
Terminology may vary between Windows operating systems and some
knowledge is assumed. If you are unsure how to proceed, you should
consult your computer documentation or system manager for details.
This example uses Windows 2000 Professional.
1.
Ensure the printer and computer are easily accessible and turn
both units off. This is not strictly necessary but may prevent
any problems being caused by the accidental dislodging of
power or other cables.
2.
Plug the Series A Male connector (a) into
the computer’s USB port or into a
suitable USB hub.
3.
