Connecting a mouse

You may want to use a USB-compatible mouse instead of the
TouchPad, the computer's built-in pointing device.
To connect the mouse to your computer or the optional Slim
Port Replicator, plug its cable into one of the USB ports. You
can connect it while the computer is on.
The operating system automatically detects the mouse. The
mouse and TouchPad can be used at the same time.

Connecting a printer

You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer.
To determine if the printer is USB-compatible, check its
documentation. If it is USB-compatible, you can connect the
printer while the computer is on.
To make the connection, you need a suitable USB cable,
which may come with your printer. Otherwise, you can
purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Some printers require a specific installation
process. Refer to your printer installation guide for instructions.
To connect a printer to your computer or the optional Slim
Port Replicator:
1 Connect the USB cable to the printer and to one of the
USB ports.
2 Connect the printer's power cable to a wall outlet and
turn on the printer.
See your printer documentation for additional configuration
steps, or see "Setting up a printer" on page 52.
