Your Data/Fax Modem

Your data/fax modem makes it possible for you to communi-

cate electronically around the globe.

Once you've plugged your telephone line into your Acer com-

puter, you can:

• Access the Internet*

• Send and receive faxes

• Send and receive e-mail*

Your Aspire computer comes with the ability to link to the

Internet.** With the Internet you can visit Acer for updates,

send e-mail to friends and family, book vacations, read up on

the latest blockbuster movie, and much, much more. All you

need is a phone line to hook the modem up to, and an

account with an Internet Service Provider.

* Requires an account with an Internet service provider.

** You may be required to pay toll charges, monthly or hourly usage fees, and

other setup charges.

Check with the Internet Service Provider for details.

1 • Make sure your computer is completely turned off (see p. 6).

2 • Connect the printer cable purchased with your printer

from the printer to the printer port on the back of your com-

puter.

3 • Plug your printer power cable into a wall outlet or power

strip.

4 • Turn on the printer.

5 • Turn on the computer.

Note: For printer driver installation to go smoothly, it is important to

turn on your printer first so Windows 98 can recognize that a printer

is connected to the computer.

To print from your Aspire, you need a printer driver – a program

that tells your computer what kind of printer it is printing to.

Windows 98 has automatic detection for all of the more popular

printers. If your printer is not available in Windows 98, look in the

printer's user guide for instructions. Please contact the manufac-

turer of your printer if you have problems or questions.

1 • Click on the

Start button.

2 • Point to Setting, then click on Printers.

3 • Select Add Printer, and double-click.

4 • Follow the directions on the screen, and be sure to test the

printer when prompted.

You should now be able to print successfully from your Aspire.
