in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a
serious problem:
Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on
the computer - this includes your printer and any other external device
you are using.

computer then when you turn the computer back on it recognizes the
new device.
Make sure that all optional accessories are configured properly in the
computer's setup program and that all required driver software has
been loaded (refer to the documentation included with the optional
