To enable the built-in and external displays

If you enable the built-in display while running the external display, you may notice
a slight dimming while the external display is connected. If the display resolutions
for the two displays are not the same, panning may result.
The System Configuration Utility provides a setting for turning the built-in display on
and off. You must reboot the computer to run the System Configuration Utility.
1. Exit Windows, then reboot the OmniBook.
2. When you see the following message:

not work in this environment.
3. Press ALT+I to open the Input/Output menu.
4. Select External Devices, then select Both External VGA and LCD.

to printers and to other computers.
1. Attach the parallel cable to the parallel connector.
