Connecting the Printer Cable
Connecting the Printer Locally
Local printer refers to a printer connected to your computer using a USB cable. If your
printer is attached to a network instead of your computer, skip this step and go on to
"
Connecting the Printer to the Network".
NOTE: USB cables are sold separately. Contact Dell to purchase a USB cable.
NOTE: Connecting the printer to the USB port of the computer requires a certified
USB cable. You will need to buy a USB 2.0-compliant cable that is about 3 m in
length.
1
Ensure that the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are powered off and
unplugged.
2
Connect a USB cable to the USB port on your printer.
3
Connect the other end of the cable to an available USB port on the computer, not the
USB keyboard.
