Add-On Devices Connecting External Devices To connect a printer or other parallel device The computer's parallel port uses a standard 25-pin connector, most commonly used for connecting dot-matrix, ink-jet, and laser printers. You can also use it to connect a parallel Zip drive. • Connect the cable from the parallel printer or other parallel device to the computer's parallel port. To connect an external keyboard or mouse Note • Plug a USB mouse or keyboard into a USB port on the computer. -or- • Plug a PS/2 mouse or keyboard into a PS/2 port on the computer. The pointing stick and touch pad are normally disabled while an external PS/2 mouse is connected. To connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard at the same time, use the HP F1469A Y adapter. To use hot keys from an external PS/2 keyboard, substitute left CTRL+left ALT for the computer Fn key. For example, to access Fn+F12, press left CTRL+left ALT+F12. Only Fn+F5, Fn+F7, and Fn+F12 are supported on an external PS/2 keyboard. A USB keyboard does not support Fn hot keys. To connect a USB device Note Your computer's universal serial bus (USB) provide a bi-directional serial interface for adding peripheral devices such as game controllers, serial and parallel ports, and scanners on a single bus. • Attach the device's USB cable to one of the computer's USB ports. Windows automatically recognizes the USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the computer in series-this is called a daisy-chain connection. If you have problems making this connection, contact the device manufacturer and the HP Customer Care Web site (www.hp.com/go/support) for the latest version of the driver for the device. 82 Corporate Evaluator's Guide
