How to set up printer printing

The design and operating principle of the printer are not the most complex. If you connect correctly and complete all program settings, you can quickly print any documents and files from the computer database. But first you need to connect everything correctly.

How to connect the printer

Before setting up the program files and system, you must correctly complete the steps to connect the equipment to the network and to the computer processor. To do this, do the following manipulations using the instructions below:

1. Open the package of purchased equipment, check that everything you need is present: the main device, wires for connection, installation disk.
2. Take out the wires to connect to the power source and computer.
3. After this, insert the cord into the corresponding sockets on the printer and the rear panel of the central processor. Carefully inspect the case so as not to confuse various similar connectors with each other.
4. Turn on the mains power and press the start button. Turn on your computer and go to your desktop.
5. After this, a dialog box should light up with an inscription about the new connected equipment. Now you can proceed to the next stage: setting up the equipment.

Some manufacturers have their own connection features. If the kit does not include a cord, or it does not fit the connector, purchase all the necessary components and adapters.

IMPORTANT! Turn on and test the printer by trying to print a few pages. If there are problems, try to eliminate them by doing everything again in order.
