Installing a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device

Important

Before you install a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device, see the device documentation and installation instructions.

Help and Support

For more information about installing peripheral devices, click Start, then click Help and Support. Type the keyword installing devices in the Search box, then click the arrow.

Your computer has one or more of the following ports: IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire® or i.Link®), Universal Serial Bus (USB), serial, and parallel. You use these ports to connect peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras to your computer. For more information about port locations, see “Front” on page 8.

IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-playand hot-swapping, which means that your computer will usually recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the appropriate port. When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device for the first time, your computer will prompt you to install any software the device needs. After doing this, you can disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.

Parallel and serial port devices are not plug-and-play. See the device documentation for detailed information and installation instructions.

Configuring the audio jacks

If the back of your computer has five audio jacks, they are universal jacks. This means that they can be used for more than one purpose. For example, the blue jack on the computer can be a stereo-in jack or a stereo-out jack. To use the audio jacks for something other than the default audio device, you need to configure the audio jacks.

To configure the audio jacks:

1Connect your audio device(s) to the computer audio jack(s).

2Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices. Click/Double-click Sounds and Audio Devices, then click Advanced under Speaker Settings. The Advanced Audio Properties dialog box opens.

-OR-

If your computer has the Realtek Sound Effect Manager installed,

double-click the Sound Effect Manager icon on the taskbar. The Realtek dialog box opens.

3Configure the audio jacks for your speaker setup.
