Connecting a USB Printer
  NOTE: You can connect USB devices while the computer is turned on.
1
Complete the operating system setup, if you have not already done so.
2
Install the printer driver if necessary. See the documentation that came with your printer.
3
Attach the USB printer cable to the USB connectors on the computer and the printer. The 
USB connectors fit only one way.
Connecting to the Internet
  NOTE: ISPs and ISP offerings vary by country.
To connect to the Internet, you need a modem or network connection and an Internet service 
provider (ISP), such as AOL or MSN. Your ISP will offer one or more of the following Internet 
connection options:
• Dial-up connections that provide Internet access through a telephone line. Dial-up 
connections are considerably slower than DSL and cable modem connections.
• DSL connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your existing telephone 
line. With a DSL connection, you can access the Internet and use your telephone on the same 
line simultaneously.
• Cable modem connections that provide high-speed Internet access through your local cable 
TV line.
