Installing a printer, scanner, or
other peripheral device
Your computer has one or more of the following ports: IEEE 1394, 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, see “Checking Out Your Gateway
Profile” on page 1.
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.
