ADDING PERIPHERALS
Peripherals are devices that work with your computer to expand your capabilities.
Peripherals include monitors, printers that use a parallel connection, USB devices such
as printers, scanners, keyboards, headphones, and more. Follow the manufacturer's
directions for easy installation of peripheral hardware and software.
CAUTION: Adding peripherals and software to your system depar ts form the original
manufacturer's specifications for your computer. Some hardware and software may
cause your system to not operate as originally shipped, and can limit your ability to use
your computer. Insignia products is not responsible for operating problems with added
peripherals and hardware not originally shipped with your computer.
NOTE: Cables and AC cords are often not included with peripherals. Visit your nearest
Best Buy store to purchase these cables and cords.
INSTALLING PARALLEL PRINTERS
You must use a parallel printer cable to connect
printers that use a parallel connection.The cable
is usually not included with the printer. The
parallel cable has two different connectors.
Plug the larger of the two connectors into the
por t on the printer and secure it into place
using the clips on the left and right side of the
por t. Connect the smaller end of the cable to
the parallel por t on the back of your computer
and secure it into place using the screws on the
left and right sides of the plug. The plugs will
only go in one way - do not force them into
place or you could damage the cable.
CONNECTING USB PERIPHERALS
Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices are connected to your computer using a USB cable,
which is often not included with the peripheral. The cable has different connectors on
either end to prevent mistakes. Plug the rectangular connector into one of the six USB
por ts on your Insignia computer. Four USB por ts are on the back of the computer, and
another two are conveniently placed on the side in front. You can connect up to six USB
peripherals on your computer, and even add more with an expansion card or USB hub.
Plug the smaller connector that looks square into the USB peripheral.
