- USB Connection: Plug the USB cable into the printer and your PC.
Step 2: Adding the Device

- Go to Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.

- Once it appears, click Add device. Windows will automatically fetch the basic drivers for you.

🖥️ Printer Setup Guide for Mac (macOS)
Step 1: Physical Setup
- Hardware: Ensure the printer is powered on and any protective orange shipping tape is removed from the inside.
- Network: Make sure your Mac and the printer are on the same Wi-Fi network. If using a cable, you may need a USB-C to USB-A adapter for modern MacBoo
Step 2: Adding the Device
- Click the Apple Menu () and select System Settings (or System Preferences).
- Scroll down and click Printers & Scanners.
- Click the Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax… button (or the + icon).
- Select your printer from the list.
- In the Use dropdown menu, select AirPrint if available (this avoids needing to download extra software). Click Add.
