    XI. Description
    Connecting the printer to the computer

    Connect the printer to the computer either using a USB cable, parallel port cable, or SCSI cable and
    then connect the power plug to a power outlet.

    Turning on a printer

    After connecting the printer to the computer, it can be turned on using the power button on the
    front of the printer. Typically the power button is on the front right corner of the printer. However,
    the button placement depends on the type of printer you have. Older laser printers may even have a
    power switch in one of the back bottom corners of the printer.

    Setup printer and install software

    After connecting the printer and turning it on, you'll need to install the printers’ software and
    drivers. Every printer should come with the software used to install a printer in Windows or your
    operating system.

    1. After everything is plugged in, turn on the computer.


    2. Insert the CD that came with the printer. If the CD does not automatically start, open My
    Computer, double-click the CD drive, and then click the Setup or Install file. If you have
    downloaded the drivers, run the downloaded setup file.
    3. Follow the installation wizard, and once completed, your software is installed.
    4. Test the printer to make sure it is working.

    Removing and mounting cartridge


    1. Open the printer door to access the toner cartridges.
    2. Remove the drum assembly from the printer by pulling it straight out.
    3. Remove the spent cartridge by pressing the release lever on the drum assembly.
    4. Take the new cartridge out of the box, but keep it in its plastic packaging. Sometimes, during
    shipping, toner can settle in the toner drum, resulting in poor-quality copies. To prevent this
    problem, gently shake the cartridge. This helps fully distribute toner throughout the
    cartridge.
    5. Remove the new cartridge from its packaging and pull off the sealing tape. While doing this,
    be careful not to touch the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge. Smudges on
    the drum can cause print-quality problems.
    6. Put the replacement cartridge in. It should snap in place securely.
    7. Slide the drum cleaning lever back and forth.
    8. Reinsert the drum assembly completely, and close the printer's access port.
    9. Your printer is ready to be used. Print a test page. Your computer will automatically
    recognize that a new cartridge has been installed. Most computers will ask you if you want
    to print a test page to ensure that the new cartridge is functional. Click "OK." The computer
    will scan the printer settings and eventually produce a printed page.
