Connecting a parallel printer
To achieve the connection, you need a suitable cable, which 
may come with your printer. Otherwise, you can purchase 
one from a computer or electronics store.

parallel printer to your computer.
Using external display devices

can easily attach an external monitor to your computer if you 
need a larger screen. To do this:

Turn off the computer.

Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) 
port on the rear of the computer.
3
Connect the monitor’s power cable to a live electrical 
outlet.
4
Turn on the external monitor.
5
Turn on the computer.

Directing the display output when you turn on the computer
Once you’ve connected an external display device, you can 
choose to use the internal display only, the external device 
only, or both simultaneously. The quickest way to change the 
display output settings is to use the display hot key (
Fn
 + 
F5
).
