Using a USB device
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect an optional external
device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub.
Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the
device. For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
These instructions may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer’s Web site.
The Slate has at least 1 USB port that supports USB 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0 devices. An optional HP Slate
Dock or USB hub provides additional USB ports that can be used with the Slate.
