If your environment does not support bidirectional communication, the Update Now setting is unavailable, so you must manually configure the options on this tab.

If you have more than one driver installed for the product (for example, the default HP PCL 6 print driver and the HP PCL 5 Universal Print Driver), the Update Now feature works automatically only on the driver on which it is activated. The other driver will not be updated, and might show the default setting for the specific product model.

Printer Status Notification

When enabled, this option displays a small status-notification window in the lower-right corner of the screen. This window is visible while printing a document or while viewing the print driver settings. It provides information about the status of the document being printed as well as information about the printer, including the current status of the printer supplies.

Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)

Set the Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) item to installed to print on both sides of any supported size and most types of paper (except transparencies, envelopes, and labels). To use this feature, you must reinsert the paper stack into the input tray to print the second side. The product pauses while you make this adjustment.

This setting is enabled by default.

Allow Manual Duplexing

Set the Allow Manual Duplexing item to Enabled for product models that do not include the automatic duplexing feature (HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401a Printer and HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n Printer).

Printer Memory

Specifies the amount of memory in the product.

Tray 3

Set the Tray 3 item to Installed if you have optional Tray 3 attached to the product.

Job Separator

Use this control to specify whether a print job identifier page should be printed between print jobs.

This setting is disabled by default.

About tab features

NOTE: The About tab is located on the Printer Properties tab set. For information about how to access these tabs, see Printer Properties driver tabs on page 17.

The About tab provides detailed information about driver component versions. It contains an overall build version number (in parentheses after the model name) together with specific information about each of the components. The information varies according to the product model number, driver, date, and versions. The About tab is shown in the following figure.
