Installing a printer, scanner, or other
peripheral device
Your computer has one or more of the following connectors:
IEEE 1394 connectors, Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors, serial
connectors, and parallel connectors. These connections are used for
connecting peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras
to your notebook. For the location of the connectors, see see "About Your
Notebook" on page 1
IEEE 1394 connectors and USB connectors are plug-and-play, which means
that you usually can use a IEEE 1394 device or USB device by just plugging
it into the appropriate connector. Windows establishes communication
between your computer and the device automatically.
Parallel and serial connector peripheral devices are not plug-and-play, so they
usually require a setup program and device drivers (small programs that let the
device communicate with your computer and other software).
Refer to the device documentation for detailed information and installation
instructions.
