campatible with High-Speed USB 2.0; however, the maximum data transfer rate will be 12 Mbits/s.
The machine can also be connected to a computer that has a USB 1.1 interface.
DO NOT connect the interface cable at this time.
Connecting the interface cable is done during the software installation process.
When you use a USB cable, make sure you connect it to the USB port of your computer and not to a USB port
