Connecting to a USB Interface
You can connect the machine to a computer with a USB port via a USB cable. The machine is USB 2.0
Hi-Speed compatible. The drivers, and utility that matches the operating system on your computer
will be installed. For more information on installing the driver through a USB connection, see Chapter
10, "Before Printing from Computers," or Chapter 11, "Before Sending Faxes from Computers." For

USB Cable
If you connect or disconnect the USB cable while the machine's main power switch is ON, do not
touch the metal parts around the connector, as this may result in electrical shock.
Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable in the following situations, as it may cause your computer or the
machine to operate poorly:
When installing the driver
When the computer is booting up
When printing
If you disconnect the USB cable with the computer or machine's main power switch ON, always wait at least five
seconds before reconnecting the cable. Immediately reconnecting the cable may cause your computer or machine
to operate poorly.
When the machine is connected to a personal computer via the USB cable, you will not be able to use some of the
utilities.
If you connect the machine to a personal computer via a USB cable, confirm that [Use USB Device] (in the System
Settings screen) is set to 'On'. (See e-Manual > Security.)
