PC port settings
This section describes how to configure ports on the PC attached to the printer. For a local connection,
the PC uses a USB port. If the printer includes a smart card module, that module connects to a USB or
serial port on the PC. (This section does not address any network setup issues.)
Set up a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on all operating systems
These steps apply to the USB data port and to an optional smart card USB port. If the printer includes
two USB ports, follow these steps for each port. The ports are not connected inside the printer to
preserve the data security of the smart card port.
