Some newer computers, particularly the Dell Dimension series, contain a
feature that activates USB devices when the computer is turned on. The
computer will send an activation signal to compatible USB devices, including
memory card readers, then pause at a black screen to allow the device the
chance to acknowledge the signal. USB printers with memory card readers may
also print pages containing references to USB functions as well as other
random text during this pause.
