Lift the scanner cover until it locks securely into the open position.
Connect the USB cable to the USB port marked with a symbol (1). You will find the USB port inside the machine, as shown in the callout below.
Carefully guide the USB cable into the cable channel and out the back of the machine. Connect the cable to your computer.
DO NOT connect the machine to a USB port on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub. Brother recommends that you connect the machine directly to your computer.
Make sure that the cable does not restrict the cover from closing, or an error may occur.
