Chapter 3: Setting Up and Getting Started
32
Installing a printer, scanner, or
other device
Your computer has one or more of the following ports:
IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire
®
), 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 Computer” on page 5
.
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.
