If you connect to your
printer via a network,
contact your network
administrator for details on
the printer and the specific setup
for your network connection.

install printer
If your printer came with
an installation disk, it
might have drivers on it.
(this will often be the case if
the printer came into production
after the most recent release of
Windows). You should check your
printer manual for information
on using the installation disk. You
can click on the Have Disk button
if you have an installation disk.

External Speakers & Microphone
The sound system is capable of providing high-quality sound to
external speakers and receiving and processing sounds from an external
microphone or external sound source. To connect external speakers, follow
the instructions provided with your speakers. When the speakers are con-
nected, the built-in speakers of your WinBook notebook will automatically
be disabled. An external microphone will disable the built-in microphone.
Connecting Peripherals
Your WinBook notebook has ports (Firewire, PS/2, parallel, USB), slots
(PCMCIA) and jacks (AC power, microphone and audio out) that allow
you to connect peripheral devices to your computer.
Printer
Whether you purchase a portable computer or a desktop model, you
will probably connect the printer to the computer via the parallel cable.
You might also connect to a printer via a network connection or a USB
connection. Whatever the nature of the connection, you will need to set
up the necessary drivers for the printer. You can vary the port connection
(or network setup) at the step where it is requested. If you will be connect-
ing the device to a parallel port, you should shut down the system before
connecting the printer (you do not need to shut down to connect a USB
printer). If your printer is Plug and Play compliant, your system will detect
the new hardware on boot and begin the process of setting up the printer.
Refer to the Help and Support Center within Windows for directions on
how to set up a printer.
Other Parallel Devices
Your parallel port can also be used with other parallel port devices
(e.g. a tape backup unit). Your parallel port is capable of supporting
enhanced ECP and EPP transfer modes. ECP transfer mode provides
