32 Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Your iBook G4 comes with two USB 2.0 ports ( ), also referred to as Hi-Speed USB,
which you can use to connect many types of external devices, including printers,
scanners, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards, and floppy disk drives. Your
USB 2.0 ports are compatible with earlier USB devices. In most cases you can connect
and disconnect a USB device while the computer is running. Once you connect the
device, it is ready to use. You don’t need to restart or reconfigure your computer.
Using USB Devices
To use a USB device with your computer, simply connect the device to the computer.
Apple has already included software to work with many USB devices. Your computer
automatically detects newly connected devices.
Note: If your iBook G4 cannot find the correct software when you connect a USB
device, you can either install the software that came with the device or follow the
onscreen prompts to use the Internet to locate, download, and install the correct
software.
