Install and Configure Peripheral Devices

I. Learning Competency with Code

TLE_IACSS9-12ICCS-IIa-j-30
✓ Install peripherals/devices in accordance with manufacturer’s
Instructions and/or OS installation procedures
✓ Configure peripherals/devices in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions and/or OS installation procedures.

II. Background Information for Learners

The peripheral devices are those devices which are connected to the
computer and help the computer function. These devices contain both the input
devices, which are used to give command to the computer and the output devices,
which help computer showing the result to the user. The computer works with many
peripheral devices so it's important to know how these devices can be installed and
configured in a computer.

In communications or computer systems, a configuration of a system refers

to the arrangement of each of its functional units, according to their nature, number
and chief characteristics. Often, configuration pertains to the choice of hardware,
software, firmware, and documentation. Along with its architecture, the configuration
of a computer system affects both its function and performance.

Configuration can also be defined as the manner in which components are

arranged to make up the computer system. Configuration consists of both hardware
and software components. Sometimes, people specifically point to hardware
arrangement as hardware configuration and to software components as software
configuration

Configuring the Keyboard

You can configure your

keyboard to use a different
language or keyboard layout,
such as Canadian
Multilingual, Spanish, or
United States-Dvorak. A large
selection of keyboard layouts
is installed with the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Generally, you should configure your keyboard layout in Windows to match the
actual keyboard that you use. If you can choose a different layout, be aware that the
 keys on your keyboard may display different characters than those that appear on
screen.

Windows 7 or Windows Vista

1. Click Start , type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
2. On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
3. Click Add.
4. Expand the language that you want. For example, expand French (Canada).
5. Expand Keyboard list, click to select the Canadian French check box, and then
click OK.
6. In the options, click View Layout to compare the layout with the actual keyboard.
7. In the Default input language list, click French (Canada) – Canadian French,
and then click OK two times.
8. In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click OK.

Note The Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you rest the mouse
pointer over this bar, a tooltip appears that describes the active keyboard layout.
9. Click the Language bar, and then click FR French (Canada).

Windows XP
1. Click Start , type intl.cpl in the Run box, and then press ENTER.
2. On the Languages tab, click Details.
3. Under Installed services, click Add.
4. In the Input language list, select the language that you want. For example,
select French (Canada) .
5. In the Keyboard layout/IME list, click Canadian French, and then click OK .
6. In the Select one of the installed input languages to use when you start your
computer list, click French (Canada) – Canadian French, and then click OK.
7. In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click OK.

Note The Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you rest the mouse pointer
over this bar, a tooltip appears that describes the active keyboard layout.
8. Click the Language bar, and then click French (Canada).

How to make sure that the selected layout matches the keyboard

Windows 7 or Windows Vista

1. Click Start, type osk in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
2. Match the keyboard on the screen with the physical keyboard to make sure that
the layout matches.
3. To check the uppercase characters, click the shift key on the keyboard or on the
screen, and match the characters printed on the keyboard.

Windows XP

1. Click Start, type osk in the Run box, and then press ENTER.
2. Match the keyboard on the screen with the physical keyboard to make sure that
the layout matches.
3. To check the uppercase characters, click the shift key on the keyboard or on the
screen, and match the characters printed on the keyboard.

B. Configuring the mouse

To configure the mouse:

Choose Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse.

or

Choose Start, type mouse in the Search box, and then press Enter.

1. To swap the left and right mouse-button functions, choose Buttons tab > check
Switch Primary and Secondary Buttons.
2. If Windows often interprets your double-clicks as two single clicks, choose Buttons
tab > drag the Double-Click Speed slider toward Slow.

3. To make dragging easier, choose Buttons tab > check Turn on ClickLock (Figure
4.20); then you can select text or drag icons without holding down the mouse
button continuously.

Figure 4.20 ClickLock is a mercy for touchpad users.

4. To customize mouse pointers, choose Pointers tab > Scheme to set or create a
new pointer scheme (Figure 4.21).
 Figure 4.21 This tab lets you select predefined pointer schemes (which range from
cute to practical), create your own pointer schemes, or browse to select an
individual pointer (rather than an entire scheme).

5. On the Pointer Options tab, adjust how the pointer responds to the mouse's
physical actions (Figure 4.22).

Figure 4.22 If the pointer distracts you while you type, check Hide Pointer While
Typing. If you need to keep track of the pointer as it moves, check Display Pointer
Trails (useful for laptop screens). Adjust the pointer's speed to have it respond
more quickly or slowly to mouse movements.

6. If your mouse has a wheel, on the Wheel tab, adjust its scroll behavior (Figure
4.23).

Figure 4.23 A mouse wheel can stand in for scroll bars; roll the wheel to scroll up or
down a list, document, or webpage. The wheel on some mice can tilt left or right for
horizontal scrolling. If your mouse has no wheel, these settings are ignored.

7. Click OK (or Apply).

C. Configuring the monitor

1. Right-click on your desktop and select Display Settings.

2. Here, you will see the screens currently recognized by your computer and the
configuration they are currently set for.
1. If you want to see different things on each screen, scroll down and set the "Multiple
displays" option to "Extend these displays"

3. You can click the Identify button to determine which screen has been assigned which
number (a large white number should appear on each screen)
4. This is what you should see:

1. Select the screen you want to change settings for (in the small diagram)

2. Scroll down and set the resolution to one looks best to you, and repeat for each
screen. You can also change the orientation if you would like.
3. Then, in the diagram, you can drag the monitors to match the way they are
physically configured (side by side, one above the other, etc.)
4. Finally, you can select the monitor you want to be your main display (where the
start menu and task bar will be, where your log in screen will show up, etc.) by clicking
on it and checking the box for "Make this my main display).

D. Configuring the speakers

To set your default output speaker, adjust the master volume, and fix common sound
problems, do the following:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on System.
3. Click on Sound.

The Sound page includes two sections separating the output and input options. At the
top of the page, you'll find your output options.

Using the Choose your output device drop-down menu, you can quickly change the
speakers you want to use as the default.
 You can also click the Device properties link, which opens additional speaker settings
using the Control Panel experience:

• General — You can enable or disable the speaker and access audio driver information.

• Levels — Allows you to adjust master volume and balance settings.

• Enhancements — Includes settings to enhance audio with special effects.
• Advanced — Allows you to change default sample rate and bit depth.
• Spatial sound — Includes the options to use Windows 10's spatial sound format,
including "Windows Sonic for Headphones" and "Dolby Atmos for Headphones."
Similar to using the speaker icon in the taskbar, on the Sound page you can also
change the system master volume with the slider.

You'll also find a Troubleshoot button that starts the audio troubleshooter to fix
common sound problems automatically.

E. Configuring a webcam

Setting up the Webcam

1. Open the webcam's program. If the webcam's program didn't automatically open
upon completion of installation, you'll need to look up the program and open it manually.
• The webcam's program will usually have the webcam company's name in it, so
try searching for the company (e.g., "youcam") in Start
(Windows) or Spotlight
(Mac).

2. Mount the webcam. Many webcams have a clip on the base that allows the webcam
to latch onto the top of a computer monitor. If your webcam doesn't have such a clip,
look for a flat, elevated space in which to place the webcam.

3. Adjust the webcam as needed. In the middle of your webcam program's window, you
should see real-time footage from your webcam. Using the footage as a reference,
adjust your webcam to point at your face from your preferred angle.

4. Test the webcam's sound. While speaking into the webcam, look for spikes in activity
 next to the "Audio" (or similarly titled) section in the webcam's window. If you don't see
any activity here, your webcam's microphone isn't working and might need to be
enabled from the webcam's or computer's settings.
• Check your webcam's manual to see specific instructions on how to address
lack of audio input.

5. Change your webcam's settings if necessary. Most webcam programs will have
a Settings section (or a gear-shaped icon) somewhere in the window. You can click
on this section to view and change settings like contrast, low-light response, and so on.
• The settings location and options will vary from webcam to webcam. Consult
your webcam's manual if you can't find the settings section.

F. Configuring the printer

Printers and scanners allow your computer work to be viewed and

printed beyond the dimensions of your screen. However, these
devices are only useful when you can set the commands to perform
the work exactly as you see necessary. Windows 7 allows you to
change your printing and scanning options to get the copies that you
want every single time. Read the steps listed below and learn about
how to configure a printer or scanner in Windows 7.

1. Click Start in the lower left corner of your computer screen.

2. Select Devices and Printers from the popup list. A new window will open.
3. Right click on the printer or scanner that you want to configure. A drop down menu
appears.
4. Select Printer Properties from the drop down menu. A dialog box entitled Printer
Properties will open. This is where you can configure ports, update drivers and
customize your hardware options [source: Microsoft].
5. Click the Ports tab from the list of tabs at the top of the box.
6. Click on the Configure Port button.
7. Configure the options according to your needs.
8. Click OK to save your configuration choices [source: Epson].
Besides configuring ports, Windows 7 also allows you to configure your printing
preferences.

1. Click Start in the lower left corner of your computer screen.

2. Select Devices and Printers from the popup list. A new window will open.
3. Right click on the printer that you want to configure. A drop down menu appears.
4. Select Printer Preferences from the drop down menu. A dialog box entitled Printer
Preferences will open.
5. Choose the page layout, sheet size, paper source and double- or single-sided
printing. You can also choose to have the pages stapled together. Configure the
options according to your printing and scanning needs.
6. Click on the OK button to save your printing preferences
.
G. Installing a scanner

After installing a scanner, you may want to take a look at its default
settings or even change them. Fortunately, modifying the scanner
settings is an easy task.

1. Choose Start→Control Panel. Type scanners in the Control Panel

search field and press Enter.
The Control Panel window appears.
2. Click View Scanners and Cameras.
You see a list of installed scanners in the Scanners and Cameras dialog box.

3. Click any scanner in the Scanners and Cameras area and then click the Scan
Profiles button.
The Profiles dialog box appears.
4. Select a scanner and click Edit.
The Edit Default Profile dialog box appears.

5. Review the settings.

These settings may include (depending on your scanner model) color management
for fine-tuning the way colors are scanned and resolution settings that control how
detailed a scan is performed. (The higher the resolution, the crisper and cleaner your
electronic document, but the more time it may take to scan.)
6. Click Save Profile to return to the Properties dialog box and then click the Close
button twice.
The Scan Profiles and Scanners and Cameras windows close.
7. When you’re ready to run a scan, place the item to be scanned in your scanner.
Depending on your model, the item may be placed on a flat “bed” with a hinged
cover or fed through a tray. Check your scanner’s manual for the specific procedure
to initiate a scan (for example, pressing a Scan or Start button). After you begin the
scan, your computer automatically detects it and displays a dialog box showing you
the scan progress and allowing you to view and save the scanned item.
