Using an external keyboard
Adjusting the quality of the external display

To obtain the best picture quality from your television (or other video display device), you may need to adjust the video settings. See the video device documentation for additional configuration steps.

TECHNICAL NOTE: To use one of the simultaneous modes, you must set the resolution of the internal display panel to match the resolution of the external display device. The external display device must support a resolution of 800 x 600 or higher.

Using an external keyboard

If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to your computer. The computer’s USB ports support any USB-compatible keyboard.

Using a mouse

You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer’s built-in TouchPad. You can use a USB-compatible mouse.

Connecting a printer

NOTE

Your printer documentation may require you to install the printer

 

software before physically connecting the printer to your computer. If

 

you do not install the software as instructed by the printer

 

manufacturer, the printer may not function correctly.

 

Read the documentation that came with your printer. Follow the

 

manufacturer’s instructions when connecting a printer.

 

 

You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer through the USB ports. To determine if the printer is USB- compatible, check its documentation.

To make the connection, you need a suitable USB cable which may come with your printer. If a USB cable was not included with your printer, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
