To Connect A Printer Or Other Parallel Device; To Connect A Usb Device - HP Pavilion XF315 Reference Manual

Note

To connect a printer or other parallel device

The notebook's parallel port uses a standard 25-pin connector, most commonly used for
connecting dot-matrix, ink-jet, and laser printers.
• Connect the device's parallel cable to your notebook's parallel port.

To connect a USB device

The universal serial bus (USB) provides a bidirectional serial interface for adding
peripheral devices—such as a game controller, keyboard, mouse, serial or parallel port, or
scanner—on a single bus. Your notebook includes two USB ports.
• Attach the device's USB cable to a USB port on the notebook. Windows
automatically recognizes the USB device.
Some USB devices can be connected to the notebook in series—this is called a daisy-
chain connection.
If you have problems using a USB device, contact the vendor of the device, and visit the
HP notebook web site (www.hp.com/notebooks) for the latest versions of the USB
drivers.
USB keyboards do not support Fn hot keys.
