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.jpeg
Solved! Go to Solution.

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.

Here's a close-up of the ports

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