• USB is available with a PC/AT compatible computer that was origi-

nally equipped with USB and had Windows 98, Windows Me, Win-
dows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional or Windows XP
Home Edition preinstalled.

• Do not connect the USB cable before installing the MFP driver. The

USB cable should be connected during installation of the MFP
driver.

Note:

• If the machine will be connected using a USB 2.0 port of your com-

puter, please purchase a USB cable that supports USB 2.0.

• The machine's USB connector will transfer data at the speed speci-

fied by the USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is
preinstalled in the computer, or if the USB 2.0 driver for Windows
2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its "Windows
Update" Web page is installed.

• To obtain the fastest USB 2.0 data transfer speed, "USB2.0 MODE

SWITCH" in the machine's user programs must be set to "HI-
SPEED".

• Use the machine's "HI-SPEED" mode only when using a computer

that is running Windows 2000/XP.

• Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is used, it may not be possi-

ble to obtain full USB 2.0 speed if a PC card supporting USB 2.0 is
used. To obtain the latest driver (which may enable a higher speed),
contact the manufacturer of your PC card.

• Connection is also possible using a USB 1.1 port on your computer.

However, the specifications will be USB 1.1 specifications (Full-
Speed).
