Tips and hints
• USB devices allow you to plug and unplug them during operation. Therefore, you do
not need to turn off the computer when you want to plug-in/unplug devices. Howe-
ver, if data transfer is currently taking place, the application programme might crash
and other data might get damaged as well.
• Switch off the printer before disconnecting the USB connection. This is particularly
important for ink jet printers, as the printing head of those devices is brought to a
parking position when the printer is switched off via its ON/OFF switch in order to
protect the printing head and the ink cartridge against drying up. Otherwise, the
printing head of the printer cannot be brought into the parking position and the nozz-
les of the printing head could become dry!
• Utilize this function to safely remove the device through software before physically
detaching them from the computer.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable materials and must not be disposed of
