Microsoft QLF-00195 manual Devices and Printers Folder

The Devices and Printers Folder

The Devices and Printers folder is a single location where you can access and interact with all your devices. When Windows 7 detects a device it automatically downloads and installs any required drivers. After your device has been installed, it

will appear in the Devices and Printers folder with a photo-realistic icon. From there you can access any task you want to perform, such as customizing your mouse or webcam settings. In addition, your multifunction devices will appear just as they do on your desk—as a single, unified device instead of multiple separate devices. With Windows 7 you won’t have to go to different places to manage different parts of the device for things like printing and scanning.

Windows 7 makes it simple to add your networked and wireless devices— such

as printers, keyboards, and digital picture frames. Using the Add a Device wizard you can connect to network, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth (Windows 7 supports Bluetooth 2.1) devices. For Wi-Fi devices that feature the Compat- ible with Windows 7 logo, simply launch the Add a Device wizard to so your computer can detect your new device. Windows 7 will configure the device to connect to your wireless network. After your device is connected, Windows 7 will download and install any necessary device drivers so that you can use it right away.

Devices and Printers provides a

consolidated view of all your devices.

The Add a Device wizard helps you easily

add networked and wireless devices.
