Installing a printer or other

peripheral device

Your notebook has one or more of the following ports:

Universal Serial Bus (USB) and HDMI (digital

audio/video). You use these ports to connect

peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and

digital cameras to your notebook.

USB ports support

plug-and-play

and

hot swapping

which means that your notebook will usually

recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the

appropriate port. When you use a USB device for the

first time, your notebook will prompt you to install any

software the device needs. After doing this, you can

disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.

Important

Do not use the remove hardware icon in the taskbar to

remove the memory card. If you use the remove hardware icon, your

notebook may not recognize your memory card reader until you

restart your notebook.

Important

Before you install a printer, scanner, or other peripheral

device, see the device documentation and installation instructions.
