Installing PC Cards
PC Cards may be 'hot-swapped', which means you can install a card
while your notebook is running. The card will be detected automatically.

into the slot. Cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Check the
documents that came with your card if the orientation is unclear.
1. Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the
top side of the card facing up. The push-button latch may need to be in
before inserting the card.
2. Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into the connector.

card orientation and try again.

purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
These instructions are for a parallel printer, the most common type of
interface.
1. Turn off your notebook.
2. Connect the printer cable to the printer and to your notebook's parallel
port.
3. Plug the printer's power cable into an electrical outlet.
For further steps, refer to the documentation that came with your printer.

If you started your computer with a printer connected and turned on, it
may have been detected automatically (Plug and Play). If not, then you
may have to install the printer driver for your printer, either using the
instructions provided with your printer, or in Windows XP via Start ->
Control Panel -> Pick a Category… -> Printers or Other Hardware -
> Pick a task… -> Add a Printer -> Add Printer Wizard or in the
Control Panel Classic Interface, Printers and Faxes -> Add a Printer -
> Add Printer Wizard.
The Add Printer Wizard interface will take you through the steps to
connect your notebook and printer.
