Connecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device

You can connect a USB device such as a scanner, a floppy disk drive or a printer, to your VAIO desktop.
To connect a USB device, simply plug in the USB cable of the device into one of the
unit.
USB devices are hot plug and play devices. You do not need to shut down your computer prior to connecting
these devices unless the manual supplied with the device states otherwise.
For some USB devices you need to install the software before you connect the device. Not following this
procedure might cause the device not to work properly. For more information, check the manual provided
with the USB device.
Connecting a USB printer
USB printer drivers should be automatically installed although some printers do not function properly
without updated drivers.
You can check the printer manufacturer's website for the latest drivers for your Windows XP system before
installing your printer.
Once you plug the printer's USB cable into one of the USB ports on your computer, the Found New
Hardware Wizard will guide you through any setup procedure you need to follow.
If the printer is not automatically installed, you can try the following:
1 From the Control Panel, select Printers and Other Hardware, then Printers and Faxes.
2 Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer.
3 Let the Add Printer Wizard guide you through the installation process.
4 Click Finish.
The printer is now installed.
✍
This procedure applies for most, but not for all printers.
