If you are connecting the machine via USB:

The interface cable is not a standard accessory. Please purchase an appropriate USB 2.0 interface cable.

Please make sure you use a USB 2.0 cable that is no longer than 6 feet long (2 meters).

Your DCP has a USB interface. This interface is compatible with Hi-Speed USB 2.0; however, the maximum data transfer rate will be 12 Mbits/s. The DCP can also be connected to a computer that has a USB 1.1 interface.

DO NOT connect the interface cable at this time.

Connecting the interface cable is done during the software installation process.

When you use a USB cable, make sure you connect it to the USB port of your computer and not to a USB port on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub.
