4. Using the Notebook PC Optional External Connections Monitor Out Connection Connecting an external monitor is just like on a standard 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 inkjet 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, scanners, and removable drives with an IEEE1394 port can all be connected instead of using traditional Parallel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment and should be marked "DV" for Digital Video port. External Audio Connections The Notebook PC provides easy access for connecting a stereo headphone, mono microphone, and a stereo audio source just like on some personal tape recorders. 46
