Before you connect the printer, turn off your computer and disconnect the AC adapter and power cord from the electrical outlet.

Plug the power cord after finishing all the connections.

Turn on the peripheral devices before turning on your computer.

If you are using a printer that does not support Windows 98, it may not function properly. You can connect a printer while the floppy disk drive is in use.

When using a USB printer, connect it to the USB connector of your computer or of the Mini Docking Station.

See the manual that came with your printer for more information on installation and use.

Before using the printer, you may need to change the Printer setting in the Sony Notebook Setup software. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” in the Customizing Your Notebook Computer manual.
