The devices connected to the serial interface require drivers. Your operating system
already includes many drivers. If the required drive is missing, install it. The latest
drivers are usually available on the Internet or will be supplied on a data carrier.

Connecting external devices to the USB ports

Devices, Externaldevices, USBport, USBdevices,
You can connect a wide range of external devices to the USB ports (e.g.
printer, scanner, modem or keyboard).
USB devices are hot-pluggable. This means you can connect and disconnect
USB cables while your device is switched on.
Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.
► Connect the data cable to the external device.
► Connect the data cable to one of the USB ports on your device.
Device drivers
The external USB devices you connect to the USB ports usually require no
driver of their own, as the required software is already included in the operating
system. However, if the external USB device requires its own software, please
install it from the data carrier provided with the USB device.
To ensure the transmission capacity of USB 2.0, the cable from the external USB
device to the USB port of your device must not be longer than 3 m.
