Broadband Internet connections
You can use your notebook’s Ethernet jack for more than just networking. Many 
broadband Internet connections, such as cable modems and DSL modems, 
connect to your notebook’s Ethernet jack. For more information, see 
.
Installing a printer, scanner, or 
other peripheral device
Your notebook has one or more of the following ports: Universal Serial Bus 
(USB) and parallel. You use these ports to connect peripheral devices such as 
printers, scanners, and digital cameras to your notebook. For more information 
about port locations, see 
USB ports support plug-and-play and hot-swapping, which means that your 
notebook will usually recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the 
appropriate port. When you use a USB device for the first time, your notebook 
will prompt you to install any software the device needs. After doing this, you 
can disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.
Parallel port devices are not plug-and-play. See the device documentation for 
detailed information and installation instructions.
Important
Before you install a printer, scanner, or other peripheral 
device, see the device documentation and installation 
instructions.
