the back of the system unit. This is the same jack to
which the external speakers connect. You must
disconnect your speakers to use this jack with your
headphones.
If you plug your headphones into the line-out jack on the
back of the system unit, the headphones will pick up all
sounds generated from your computer and any external
devices connected to the computer, such as a MIDI
(musical) keyboard. The headphones will also pick up
sound coming from a CD in the CD-ROM drive.
When your headphones are plugged into the line-out
jack on the back of the system unit, you must control
the headphone volume through the volume-control
program on your computer. You cannot control the
headphone volume from the volume control on the
CD-ROM drive.
Note:
When using the line-out jack, some sounds, such as
the error-code beeps generated by the power-on
self-test (POST), might not be audible through the
headphones or external speakers.
After you have attached your printer to your computer as
described on the Setup poster , you need to install the
correct printer driver for the operating system you are using.
A printer driver is a file that describes the characteristics of
your printer to the software. The software then uses the file
to convert your text and graphics into a form that your printer
can understand.
Windows 98 contains printer drivers for many popular
printers. If you find that Windows 98 does not have the driver
for your printer, use the printer drivers provided with the
printer.
Windows Help provides instructions for installing the driver
for your printer. To access these instructions, follow these
steps:
1.
From the Windows 98 desktop, click on the
button.
