How to use

Connect the USB Type A (male) plug to the computer or host device's USB Type A port and insert the USB Type B (male) plug into the peripheral's Type B socket. Ensure both devices are powered if required by the peripheral. The host operating system should detect the connected device automatically; install device drivers if the system prompts for them.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable with USB 2.0-compatible devices and avoid stretching or sharply bending the cable. When setting up printers or scanners, position the cable so it does not interfere with moving parts or paper paths. If you require higher data rates for certain storage devices, consider a USB 3.x cable and compatible ports instead.
