is used to connect a parallel printer or other 
parallel device. This port supports Extended 
Capabilities Port (ECP) standard.
Modem jack In areas where an internal modem is installed as 
standard equipment, there is a modem jack that 
lets you use a modular cable to connect the 
modem directly to a telephone line. 
■ In case of a lightning storm, unplug the modem cable from the 
telephone jack.
■ Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will 
damage the modem.

has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 
megabits per second, 10BASE-T) and Fast
