If connecting a printer directly to a PC (Using a cable rather than wireless), printer will come with 2 cords: Power and USB.

• The power cable is easily identified by the three-prong wall plug, simply plug non-prong side to printer and wall-prong side into wall.
• The USB cable has a USB head (Like a USB flash drive) and a special printer connection head.

If your computer only has USB-C connections (Newer computers) then you will need to use a dock or USB to USB-C adapter

Plug the special printer connection head into the printer and the USB head into the computer/dock/adapter

Click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen to open the pull-down menu, click on “System Preferences”

Click on “Printers & Scanners”

At this point, your printer may be listed in the left-hand side window of “Printers & Scanners”. It will be listed as the printer make and model.

• Printer make and model may be found on the printer unit itself

If the printer is not yet listed, click on the (+) sign in the lower left corner of the Printers & Scanners” window

Add printer by clicking on name of printer you are connecting
