159 Expansion Options Using an expansion device Using an expansion device The expansion port allows you to connect your computer to an expansion device, which is an excellent investment if you're using your computer both in and out of the office. When you return to your desk, you probably want to connect to your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead of the AccuPoint II. Connecting cables for each of these devices every time you return to the office is time-consuming and inconvenient. With an expansion device, you can leave external devices connected while you are using your computer away from your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your computer and have immediate access to all the devices. For more information, see the accessories information packaged with your computer, or visit the Web site: toshibaaccessories.com.
