Connecting a mouse

Connecting a mouse
You may want to use a mouse instead of the cPad or
TouchPad, the computer’s built-in pointing device.
To connect a mouse, plug the mouse cable into one of the
computer’s USB ports. You can connect it after you turn on
the computer.
The operating system automatically detects the mouse. The
mouse and cPad or TouchPad can be used at the same time.
Connecting a printer
You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer
through the USB ports. To determine if the printer is USB-
compatible, check its documentation. You can connect a USB
printer after you turn on the computer.
To achieve the connection, you need a suitable USB cable,
which may come with your printer. You can purchase one
from a computer or electronics store.
Connecting a USB printer
To connect a USB printer:
1 Connect the flat end of the USB cable to the USB port.
2 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the printer.
3 Connect the printer’s power cable to a wall outlet.
4 Turn on the printer.
See your printer documentation for additional configuration
steps, or see
“Setting up a printer” on page 80 .
