Auto Configure

Auto Configure detects the devices installed on the printing system if it is connected over a network. Auto Configure can detect printing system devices such as input devices, output devices, RAM disk size, and hard disk size. When your computer is connected to the printing system through a TCP/IP or WSD port, the Auto Configure button appears in the Device Settings tab. Auto Configure updates the Device options list, Memory, RAM disk, and preview images to keep the printer driver consistent with the printing system configuration.
