About installing a printer, scanner, or
other peripheral device
Your computer has two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports and a parallel printer
port. These ports are used for connecting peripheral devices such as printers,
scanners, and digital cameras to your computer.
USB ports support plug-and-play and hot swapping, which means that your
computer will usually recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the
appropriate port. When you use a USB device for the first time, your computer
will prompt you to install any software the device needs. After doing this,
you can disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.
Parallel devices are not plug-and-play. Refer to the device documentation for
detailed information and installation instructions.
