Microphones

Your HP TouchSmart PC comes with a built-in microphone array near the webcam on the front of the

You can use the microphone from a distance of up to one-half meter from the HP TouchSmart PC.
To adjust the volume:
1 Tap the SoundMAX icon on the taskbar.
2 Adjust the slider.

Bluetooth or USB-connected headsets can be used with your system.

You can connect a media player, such as an MP3 player, to the Line In connector on the left side of the
computer and play it through the internal speakers or added external speakers.

Connecting a Printer

You can connect a printer by using the USB connectors on the sides or back of the HP TouchSmart PC, or
you can use a wireless printer.
NOTE: The HP TouchSmart PC does not support printers that require a parallel printer connector.

Connecting a printer that has a parallel port

HP TouchSmart supports USB and wireless printer connections. If your printer has a parallel port, you must
buy a USB parallel printer adapter.
Also, you will need to download a printer driver that works with Windows 7. To verify your operating
