USB Printing on Sharp Copiers

Since most copiers are setup to print via Cat5 or through wireless connections these days, the Sharp copiers come out of the box with the USB printing feature disabled. You’ll need a regular USB-B to USB-A cable like the one pictured below.

LEAVE THE USB CABLE UNPLUGGED UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE DRIVER!
