    <Cause 2>
    Are the printer and the computer connected correctly via a USB cable?

    Connect the printer to a computer with a USB cable. Connect the flat connector of the USB cable (a) to the computer, and connect the square connector (b) to the printer.
    <Solution 2>
    Exchange the USB cable. If the USB cable is a long one, exchange it for a shorter one.
    <Solution 3>
    If you are using a USB hub, connect the printer directly to your computer using a USB cable.
    NOTE
    • If your printer does not come with a USB cable, you will need to provide your own cable separately.
    • Make sure that the USB cable you use has the following mark.
    • If a Plug and Play automatic setup screen like the one shown below is displayed when you connect the USB cable, click [Close] or [Cancel] to close it.

    <Cause 3>
    Was the printer turned ON before you installed the printer driver? If so, turn OFF the printer and unplug the USB cable, and then reinstall the printer driver.
