Printer

Your computer supports both parallel and USB printers.

Refer to the printer's manual for information on:

•Setting up the hardware

•Installing the necessary drivers in Windows

•Operating instructions

To use a USB printer, simply connect the device to one of your com- puter's USB ports, and then wait for Windows to detect the new hard- ware.

To connect a parallel printer, first shut down the operating system. Connect the printer to the parallel port, and then restart the computer. Wait for Windows to detect the new hardware.

Audio devices

Your notebook computer has built-in stereo speakers. See the section entitled “Audio devices” on page 44 for more information on these features. However, in addition to the integrated devices, the two audio ports on the front of the unit enable you to connect external audio input and output devices.

You can plug an external microphone into your computer's micro- phone-in jack. This offers the convenience of greater freedom of move- ment, as well as improved audio input quality.

Connect headphones to the headphone jack for private listening and improved audio output quality.
