My printer is connected to my network, but the scanner function isn't. I'm trying to connect the two using a USB cable. Everything I look at says there's a USB port on the back of the printer/scanner/fax. Here's the picture of the back of my machine. Can anyone tell me where the port is?IMG_1412.jpegIMG_1412.jpeg

Thanks for joining the conversation, larksongster!  The USB port is the upper jack on the right, indicated by the arrow in the image below.

This printer needs a USB cord with a B-style connector and that connection handles all the printer's communication with your computer whether it's for printing or scanning.

Hope this helps!

That port doesn't accept a USB cable. It looks like a mini-ethernet port.

The top port is for a printer/usb cable like this one, the A end (the wider one) plugs into your computer.
