Connecting A Printer - Toshiba Satellite M50-04N01N Resource Manual

Connecting a printer

You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer
through one of the USB ports. 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. If a USB cable was not
included with your printer, you can purchase one from a
computer or electronics store.
If your printer supports Plug and Play, your computer will
automatically recognize the printer when it is connected; the
printer is then ready for use. Refer to your printer
documentation for further instructions.
If your printer does not support Plug and Play, you must set
up the printer as described in "Setting up a printer" in the
electronic user's guide.
Setting up your computer and getting started
Never tamper with the power cable or plug; never splice or alter a
power cable; never bend or twist a power cable; never place heavy
objects on a power cable; never place a power cable near a heat
source; never run a power cable through a pinch point such as a
door or window; never use nails, staples or similar objects to fasten
or attach cord in place; never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC
adapter or a Battery Charger. Doing any of the above may damage the
cables, and/or result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in
serious injury.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet hands.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in an electric shock,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
Your printer documentation may require you to install the printer
software before physically connecting the printer to your computer. If
you do not install the software as instructed by the printer
manufacturer, the printer may not function correctly.
Read the documentation that came with your printer. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions when connecting a local printer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To determine if your printer supports Plug and
Play, check its documentation.
