o
When using a USB hub, is it being used
correctly?
In the USB specification, daisy-chains of up to five USB
hubs are possible. However, we recommend that you
connect the printer to the first hub connected directly
to the computer. Depending on the hub you are
using, the operation of the printer may become
unstable. If this should occur, plug the USB cable
directly into your computer's USB port.
