Apple eMac - Manual (Page 24)

24Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Your eMac comes with five USB ports ( ) (three on the computer and two on the
keyboard), which you can use to connect many types of external devices, including
printers, scanners, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards, and floppy disk
drives. USB makes it easy to connect external equipment. In most cases you can
connect and disconnect a USB device while the computer is running. Once you
connect the device, it is ready to use.
Using USB Devices
To use a USB device with your computer, simply connect the device to the computer.
Your computer automatically accesses the necessary software whenever you connect a
new device.
Note: Apple has already included software to work with many USB devices. When you
connect a USB device, if your eMac cannot find the correct software, you can install the
software that came with the device or check the device manufacturer’s website for the
latest software.
