LapLink
One of the most common uses of the device driver is sharing a printer. You can create files on your
TravelMate 2000 and, through the device driver, print them on a printer already connected to a second
computer. Note that the connection to the printer is indirect: from your TravelMate 2000 to the second
computer through the LapLink cable, from the second computer to the printer through the printer cable.
Users of the TravelMate 2000 and other laptop computers find the device driver useful for running programs
located on a desktop computer from the keyboard of their TravelMate 2000. The programs may be copy-
protected, making it impossible to copy them to the TravelMate 2000 in the first place. Even if you decide to
use the device driver you should not forget LAPLINK.EXE. Used in combination with the device driver (or by
itself), LAPLINK.EXE is still the better way to transfer files between computers.
See the LapLink User's Manual furnished with your TravelMate 2000 for complete information and
instructions about using LapLink and the LapLink device driver.
