Establishing an infrared connection to a PC
Using the infrared software for Windows ME, you can communicate with another PC or printer
equipped with an infrared interface.
i
Before you can establish an infrared connection, you must have activated the infrared
software in Windows ME. Additional information on the infrared interface is contained in
the Windows help in the Start menu under the topic "Infrared".
Configuring the infrared connection
By default, the mode for the infrared port is set to FIR in the BIOS Setup ("Fast IrDA Mode"). If you
want to communicate with a system on which Windows ME is not running, you can change the
setting to IrDA. Please note that IrDA is the slower mode and is generally used on older computers.
Connecting USB devices
You can connect a wide range of external devices to the USB port (e.g. a printer, a scanner or a
modem).
i
USB devices are hot-pluggable. Therefore, the cables from USB devices can connected
and disconnected with the system switched on.
Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.

Device drivers
The devices you connect to the USB ports usually require no driver of their own, as the
required software is already included in the operating system. However, if the USB device
requires its own software, please install it from the data carrier provided with the USB
device.
