Getting Started 40 Setting up your computer To use both the PS/2 mouse and the AccuPoint II pointing device simultaneously, see Using a PS/2 mouse with the AccuPoint II on page 52. TECHNICAL NOTE: You can only connect one PS/2 device at a time, unless you purchase an optional Y-cable. Using a Ycable allows you to connect a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2 keyboard simultaneously. Connecting a printer Before connecting a printer, you need to know whether it uses a serial or a parallel interface. Check the printer's documentation. If the printer can be switched between serial and parallel mode, choose parallel because it is faster. You also need a suitable printer cable, which may come with your printer. Otherwise, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store. NOTE: If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure your printer cable is an IEEE 1284 cable. To connect a parallel printer: 1 Turn off the computer. 2 Connect the printer cable to the printer and to the computer's parallel port.
