The flatbed scanner is located on the top while the power input and optional usb connection are positioned at the base you do not get a usb cable to connect to your pc but being honest once you are set up via wifi i really do not see the point which if i am being honest was the easiest printer i have ever set up wirelessly and i have set up a few from hps to epsonsthe front display allows for selecting options and choices before choosing colour or monochrome printing
