If your scanner and y our pr inter are still not properly set for
each other af ter the abov e tips, use a separate printer por t.
You can acquire t hese from your dealer. Easy Connect can
automatically r ec ognise a maxi mum of three printer por ts.
Naturall y y ou c an also choose to connect the scanner only
when you want to use it. Remove the pl ugs from the printer,
the scanner and the com puter from the socket befor e y ou
change the cables, ot her wise your equipment may become
damaged.
