Using the Notebook PC
Optional External Connections
Monitor Out Connection
Connecting an external monitor is just like on a stan-
dard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and its
ready to use (some Notebook PC configurations may
require additional display driver settings). You can view
the Notebook PC display panel while simultaneously
allowing others to view the external monitor. For large
audiences, try connecting a computer video projector.
Printer Connection
The rear of the Notebook PC provides easy access
for connecting a standard black/white or color ink-
jet or laser printer to the parallel port. Alternatively,
one or more USB printers can be connected to the
USB port.
IEEE1394 Connection
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has
simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like
USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk drives, scan-
ners, and removable drives with an IEEE1394 port
can all be connected instead of using traditional Par-
allel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also used
in high-end digital equipment and should be marked
“DV” for Digital Video port.
