Broadband Internet connections
You can use your notebook’s Ethernet jack for more than just networking.
Many broadband Internet connections, such as cable modems and DSL
modems, connect to your notebook’s Ethernet jack. For more information,
see “Using the Internet” on page 67.
Installing a printer, scanner, or
other peripheral device
Your computer has one or more of the following ports: Universal Serial Bus
(USB) and parallel. These ports are used for connecting peripheral devices such
as printers, scanners, and digital cameras to your computer. For more
information about port locations, see “Checking Out Your Gateway Solo
1450” on page 1.
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 a 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 port devices are not plug-and-play. Refer to the device documentation
for detailed information and installation instructions.
