Windows 98/Me/2000/XP USB 2.0 connection*

Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP Parallel connection

*1 Windows 98/Me does not support USB 2.0. A USB 2.0 connection can be used in Windows 98/Me, however, the performance

will be the same as USB 1.1. The print speed based on USB 2.0 specifications can only be attained if your computer is running Windows 2000/XP, you are using a cable that supports USB 2.0, and the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If the connection is made through a hub, the hub must support USB 2.0. USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) can be used when the dual function board is installed. When the machine is connected using a parallel cable, the Print Status Window can only be used when the parallel port is set to ECP mode.

*2 *3 The printer driver that is installed varies depending on the type of connection between the machine and your computer. *4 Sharpdesk can be installed when using a parallel cable, however, the machine's scanner function cannot be used. Windows
