Modem connection
Step 1 When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify
that the port assigned to your modem is Serial USB
(COMx) , where x is the number of the COM port.
Step 2 If Windows does not Autodetect your modem on Serial USB
(COMx) , rerun the Hardware Wizard. Choose Select from a
list instead of Autodetect, then select Serial USB (COMx)
as the COM port.
Printer
Step 1 The parallel port is designed to support parallel printers.
Data storage devices must be connected directly to the
parallel port on your notebook computer.
Step 2 If your printer is not recognized, click on Start, select
Settings, then select Printers. Highlight your printer, right-
click the mouse button, and select Properties. If the
assigned port is LPT1, change it to PB1284-1 (USB port).
Step 3 For a first-time printer installation, select the port PB1284-1
(USB port). If this port does not appear in the list, choose
LPT1 and proceed with your installation. Once completed,
follow step 2 above to set your printer port to PB1284-1
(USB port).
Mouse
Step 1 If your mouse is attached to the serial port, the enhanced
features (e.g. screen scrolling) may not be available. The
mouse will function as a standard, two-button serial mouse.
