USB Connection

• The USB2.0 cable is not supplied with the printer. Obtain a cable that is suitable for the computer you

are using.

• USB connection is possible under Windows Me/2000/XP, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, and

Mac OS X.

• Windows Me supports USB1.1 speed only.
• USB connection with Macintosh is only possible via the printer's USB port.

Connect the square-shaped connector of the USB2.0 cable to the USB port.

AUB232S

If the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached, connect the square-shaped connector of the
USB2.0 cable to the USB port of the board.

AUB243S

The printer's Ethernet and USB ports are not available when the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached
to the printer.

Connect the opposite end's flat connector to devices such as your computer's USB interface,
or a USB hub.
