3.3 Plug & Play
Plug & Play capable printers can be recognised automatically at
parallel ports, USB-IEEE 1394- or infra-red connections but the last
both are not important for our printers.
The following table shows the Plug & Play capability of the different
operating systems.

Hot Plug &
Play
The table above shows that USB provides the recognition during the
connection in current operating mode, the so-called Hot-Plug & Play.
The following possibilities exist for parallel port:
•
Windows 95 / 98 / Me
Printers are recognised during the start procedure by Windows or
by the search for new hardware by means of the hardware wizard.
•
Windows 2000 / XP
Printers can be recognised during the start procedure by Windows
or by the search for new hardware by means of the hardware
wizard or, if the option 'Automatic recognition and installation of
Plug & Play printers' is set in the printer installation wizard. For
Windows XP the Hot Plug & Play when switching on the printer is
obviously possible.
Windows NT 4.0 does not support USB devices. However, some
distributors offer drivers that support USB (without Plug & Play).
Such a driver which suits to our printer is offered from
BSQUARE.
