Adapter is in use). If you have a USB device (such as a printer) that has
its own electrical power source, you should consider using this device as
a hub for your other devices. You can also obtain a powered USB hub from
your local retailer. These devices can draw power through the hub device,
leaving your WinBook notebook free to conserve or recharge battery
power. If you have a mobile USB device and want to make use of the
WinBook notebook as the power source for the device, consider using an
aggressive power management setting to help maximize battery life.
USB Floppy Disk Drive
Your WinBook X Series notebook can be used with an optional USB
Floppy Disk Drive unit. You can connect the drive to either USB port
on your system. Once it is connected, the drive will function like a normal
floppy disk drive. NOTE: The floppy disk drive will be designated as drive
A: when you are using Windows 2000. It will be designated as the last
drive when you are using Windows ME.
Scanners and Digital Cameras
Windows is designed for easy image acquisition and handling. No
matter what kind of connection the device uses (USB, Serial, Parallel),
you can take advantage of these functions by clicking on the Scanners
and Cameras icon in the Control Panel. The Add Device wizard will
assist you in setting up your device on your system. You will be able to
establish connections to the devices’ controls that can allow for smooth
handling of images. For example, you can stream images from your
camera into a slideshow-like format. See the Help and Support center
in Windows Windows Me or the Windows 2000 Help file for detailed
information (Start/Help).
If your USB-compatible
device comes with a man-
ufacturer’s installation
disk, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Although Windows
includes USB support, individual
devices might need specific dri-
vers for optimal operation. Since
a USB device is capable of very
high speeds, and since it does
not use up the access to an
available port (as a serial or par-
allel device does), you should
consider available USB peripher-
als for your system.
