2-4 SETTING UPYOUR COMPUTER MYPRESARIO—GETTING STARTED AND BEYOND
Plug In and Go!
If a cable is disconnected
or you move your
computer to another
location, this topic helps
you to quickly set up
again.
The Quick Set-Up poster that
came with your computer is a
visual guide to setting up
your computer.
Plug In and Go!
Setting Up Your Computer
Note: Do not set up the printer until your computer has been set up.
1. Connect the monitor
according to the color
coding, icons, and the
instructions from the monitor
manufacturer.
2. Connect the speaker cable
and microphone cable (if
applicable).
3. Connect the power cable.
4. Connect the keyboard to the
rear USB port and the mouse
to the PS2 port.

between the Modem Line In ~
port and and your telephone line
socket.

computer power cables into
the wall outlet.

discuss the registration process.

MYPRESARIO—GETTING STARTED AND BEYOND SETTING UPYOUR COMPUTER 2-5
Registration
The first time you turn on
your computer, you will be
guided through the
registration process before
accessing the Windows
desktop. It is very
important that you register
Windows with Microsoft.
Registration activates the
warranties by entering your
serial numbers in the
manufacturers’ databases.
Anytime you install new
software or hardware, be
sure to register it with the
manufacturer to activate the
warranty.
Registration
Registering with Microsoft
To register the Windows operating system with Microsoft,
follow the on-screen instructions. After entering the appropriate
information on each screen, click the Next button to move to the
next screen.
Registering with Microsoft enables you to receive technical
support for the Windows operating system, software updates,
and notices about new Microsoft products.

2-6 SETTING UPYOUR COMPUTER MYPRESARIO—GETTING STARTED AND BEYOND
Printer Setup
After setting up and
registering your computer,
you are ready to set up
your printer.
A printer allows you to
print any document from
your e-mail, and Web
sites.
Most new computers have a
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
port for a new printer that
uses the latest technology.
Older printers, which plug
into a parallel port, cannot
be connected to a USB port.
Your printer may use a USB
plug 1(rather than a
parallel plug 2) for
installation. USB is new
technology on all currently
manufactured computers.
Printer Setup
Setting Up Your Printer
1. Complete “Plug In and Go!” and “Registration” first
(described on previous pages).
2. Set up the printer according to the printer manufacturer’s
instructions.
3. Connect the printer to the back of your computer according to
the icons.
4. Turn on your computer (if it’s not already on).
5. Turn on the printer.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions. If prompted, insert the
printer set-up diskette.
Note: Location and style of connectors may vary by model.
