USB Devices
What Is USB?
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be
used to connect external devices such as a USB keyboard, mouse,
drive, printer, scanner, or hub to the tablet PC. The tablet PC has
three standard USB connectors that support USB-2.0 and
USB-1.1 devices.
A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable
non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices
do
not function unless an operating system that supports USB
is
installed in the tablet PC.
Some USB devices may require additional support software,
which is usually included with the device. For more information
and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation
included with the device.
