Installing a printer, scanner, or other device
Your computer has IEEE 1394 (Firewire
®
) and USB ports. 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 6.
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.

device documentation and installation instructions.
