transfer. You might need to check the documentation of your device
to determine the modes supported. If you need to change the transfer
mode for your printer, you can do so in the BIOS Setup program
(see Chapter 8). Be sure to shut down your system before connecting
the device to your system to prevent damage to your system and the
parallel device.
External Monitor
You can connect an external monitor to your WinBook notebook through
the VGA port on the rear of the system. You can direct the output to the
LCD, the external monitor or both via the display properties.
External Keyboard
Your WinBook notebook comes equipped with two USB ports, which
can be used to connect an external keyboard to your system. The WinBook
notebook should automatically detect the external keyboard and activate
it. USB keyboards can be plugged or unplugged during operation. The
external keyboard will not disable the built-in keyboard, so you will be
able to use both devices simultaneously. You can use the two keyboards
in combination, since the computer will not distinguish between the input
from each keyboard.
External Pointing Device
You can connect a USB mouse to your WinBook notebook.
If your mouse is Windows compliant, the WinBook notebook should
detect new hardware and take you through the process of installing
the hardware. If Windows does not recognize your mouse, you will
need to manually install the device into Windows. Refer to the Help
and Support Center for directions on how to install devices. You can
have Windows search for the mouse, or, if you know the correct settings,
you can set up the mouse manually. If Windows does not have drivers

You do not need to
have a printer physically
present to install the
Windows drivers for it. If
you will be using another printer
or might be transferring informa-
tion to another site (such as work
or home) where you will be using
another printer, you can set up
Windows for those printers (so
that files you are working on can
be set up for that printer). If the
printer is one you will be connect-
ing to your computer, you will
want to set up the proper port
connections for this printer. If the
printer is one you will be using
elsewhere, you can set up the
printer on the location "File."
