Installing A Printer, Scanner, Or Other Peripheral Device - Gateway Solo 3450 User Manual

Installing a printer, scanner, or other
peripheral device
Your computer has one or more of the following ports: IEEE 1394 (Firewire
or i.Link), Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Serial. These ports are used for
connecting peripheral devices such as printers and digital cameras to your
computer. For more information about port locations, see "Checking Out Your
Gateway Solo 3450" on page 1 and see "Checking Out Your Docking Station"
on page 9.
IEEE 1394 and 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 an IEEE 1394 or 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.
The docking station has a parallel port and the notebook has a serial
connector. Parallel and serial devices are not plug-and-play. Refer to the device
documentation for detailed information and installation instructions.
