Chapter 1: Checking Out Your Gateway Computer Accessories Gateway offers accessories that can help you make the most of using your computer. To order accessories, visit the Accessory Superstore at accessories.gateway.com. Home networking kit With a home networking kit, you can network, or "link", two or more computers in your home. After you have set up a home network, you can access the files, drives, and printers on linked computers, play multiplayer games, and even share one Internet connection. Two types of home networking kits are available. Wireless home networking kits use radio frequency to link your computers wirelessly. Ethernet home networking kits use network cabling to link your computers. For more information, see "Networking Your Computer" on page 139. Imaging equipment A digital camera lets you take pictures that you can view and edit on your computer. For more information, see "Connecting a digital camera" on page 113. A digital video camera lets you take movies that you can view and edit on your computer. For more information, see "Connecting a digital video camera" on page 114. A scanner copies an image, such as a graphic or document, then stores the copy in a file. You can attach your digital photographs or scanned images to e-mail messages or post them on a Web site. Printers You can attach many types of printers to your computer. The most common types are inkjet and laser printers, which print in color or black and white. For more information about attaching a printer to your computer, see "Installing a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device" on page 24. Inkjet printers and cartridges are relatively inexpensive, but usually they are slower than laser printers. Using an inkjet color printer, you can print pictures, banners, and greeting cards, as well as documents. 8 www.gateway.com
