Getting Started
Setting up your computer
To use both the PS/2 mouse and the AccuPoint II pointing
device simultaneously, see
AccuPoint II
TECHNICAL NOTE: You can only connect one PS/2 device at
a time, unless you purchase an optional Y-cable. Using a Y-
cable allows you to connect a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2
keyboard simultaneously.
Connecting a printer
Before connecting a printer, you need to know whether it
uses a serial or a parallel interface. Check the printer's
documentation. If the printer can be switched between
serial and parallel mode, choose parallel because it is faster.
You also need a suitable printer cable, which may come with
your printer. Otherwise, you can purchase one from a
computer or electronics store.
NOTE: If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure
your printer cable is an IEEE 1284 cable.
To connect a parallel printer:
1 Turn off the computer.
2 Connect the printer cable to the printer and to the
computer's parallel port.
