Installing a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device

Installing a printer, scanner, or other

peripheral device

Your computer may have 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, “Checking Out Your

Gateway Computer” on page 7.

IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-play and 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.

Important

Before you install a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device, see

the device documentation and installation instructions.
