Using an expansion device

The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are using your computer both in and out of the office.

When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead of your computer’s pointing device. Connecting cables for each of these devices every time you return to the office can be time- consuming.

With an expansion device, you can leave external devices connected while you are using your computer away from your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your computer and have immediate access to all the devices.

For more information, see the accessories information package that comes with the device or visit accessories.toshiba.com.
