Through the use of a classic USB 2.0 input it is possible to synchronize the device with any computer running Windows 7 onwards as well as Mac OS X 10.11 or higher versions , while it is also possible to use it with a server operating system such as Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016.

In addition to being able to use a wired connection to the local network through an Ethernet input, there is no lack of wireless connectivity in the Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n standard as well as Wi-Fi Direct for greater speed with devices in nearby locations. Supported printing technology includes Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria Print Service, and PIXMA Cloud Link.
