Connecting Other External Devices Connecting a local printer 55 Setting up a PS/2 mouse with the AccuPoint II When you connect a PS/2-compatible mouse via the PS/2 port on the port replicator, you may use the mouse, the AccuPoint II, or both. CAUTION: When connecting any PS/2 device, Toshiba recommends turning off your computer to prevent any possible hardware damage. To set the PS/2 mouse to work simultaneously with the AccuPoint II: 1 Click Start, Settings, then point to Control Panel. 2 Double-click the Toshiba HWSetup icon. 3 Select the Pointing Devices tab, then click Simultaneous. Connecting a local printer You can connect a local printer to your computer. Your computer has USB connectivity. Connecting a printer with a parallel or serial interface requires a port replicator. Before you can connect the printer, you need to know whether it uses a USB, serial or parallel interface. Check the printer's documentation. If the printer has a USB interface, you can connect it directly to the computer. If the printer is not a USB printer and can be switched between serial and parallel mode, chose parallel because it is faster. You also need a suitable printer cable, which may come with your printer. Alternatively, your organization may keep a stock of cables; consult your network administrator. Otherwise, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
