Task 3- install and configure the printer supplied but not attached
Step.1. Check the contents of the box, ensuring all leads and parts are there.
Step .2. Remove all packaging and un-necessary parts.
Step 3. Make space for where you want your printer to go, check that the printer will not over heat in the place you have chosen.
Step.4. Install the paper trays to the printer before positioning it.
Step 5. Insert the paper into the correct sized paper tray.
Step.6. Read the instruction manual carefully following the steps it gives you.
Step.7. you now need to connect your printer to either or both, the computer, network, print server or/and an electrical plug socket.
Step.8. Now depending on the type of ports you are working with depends on the cables your computer has. Select the suitable data cable and connect it to the communication port on the back or side of the printer; if the printer has a parallel port connect the correct lead to the printer port, do this with usb and fire wire as well.
Step.9. connect the other end of the cable to the other port which will generally be at the back of the computer monitor.
Step.10. Now connect the remaining cable which should be to connect to a plug socket, connect this power cable to both the printer and connect insert the plug into the electric socket.
Step.11. Check all parts are connected securely and switch all on/off switches and buttons to on.
Step.12. You may have been given a CD rom, if so insert this and follow the instructions on the screen.
Step.13. your printer shall now be ready to print with.
Step.14. To ensure the computer is installed correctly and securely, print a test page

Comparison between two different operating systems
There are varied things that an operating system does; one being that is manages both all hardware and software resources. It manages such things as programmes (software) and memory, disk space and the processor etc. For this comparison I have chosen Microsoft’s windows and Linux.
There are many types of Linux operating systems but unlike windows, Linux is produced by many different companies for example; Xandros, SuSE, Linspire.
There are many types of ‘windows’, such as Windows 95, 98, ME and many more. These are the older types of operating systems known as Win9x where as the newer versions are known as NT class. The NT class consists of windows 2000, windows XP, windows Vista amongst others.
Linux can be modified in many ways in which windows can not be changed. The detail varies from the many types of ‘distributions’ of the Linux family.
Windows generally improves their support for gaming, digital photography, wireless networking and instant messaging. The styles of the task bar, start menu and control panels vary within each single Microsoft operating system. Microsoft windows have many editions for both personal use (home) and communal use (business). Both Windows and Linux share many of the same types of software but software specifically made for windows will not work on a Linux operating system vice versa.
Linux can be modified by the user, a Linux operation system is best for users that wish to create, change and extend to help with the development to your computer which suits and benefits you (the user) People can add programmes and change the codes for a more personal touch. Windows however is not as flexible with self control and personal changes within programmes and other things. For home use windows is rather costly when compared to prices of Linux as Linux is low-cost. A Microsoft windows package can be used on one computer and one computer only where as a Linux package can be used on many computers and there is no need to buy another package, this helps with the cost of operating systems; especially in a business.
The main differences between the two operating systems are basically all the small things such as the price, and the difference between how they do it. They differ in all philosophy, stability and versatility. Both improve in their apparent fragile areas when creating the next operating system as comparing both Linux and windows with their most recent package to their first will have a magnificent difference.
Microsoft XP is concentrated on technology, an example being the sharpness on LCD screens and also enhancements within the internet and 64 bit version is provided and the internet enhancement includes internet explorer 6.
Linux is an open sourced operating system where as Microsoft windows is not, this means that you are more likely to violate many kinds of license agreements when using an operating system of Microsoft’s.
