Settings of the parallel port
If you need to change the settings of the parallel port (e.g. address, interrupt), you can do
so in the BIOS Setup. The settings for the port are described in the Technical Manual for
the system board or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.
Device drivers
The devices connected to the parallel port require drivers. Your operating system already
includes many drivers. Nevertheless, if the driver you need is not on the hard disk, please
install it from the data carrier supplied with the device or with the application programme.
Connecting external devices to the USB ports
You can connect a wide range of external devices to the USB port (e.g. a printer, a scanner or a
modem).

USB devices are hot-pluggable. This allows cables from USB devices to be connected
and disconnected with the system switched on.

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.
