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. When your computer is connected to the printing system through a TCP/IP or WSD port, the Auto Configure button appears in Device Settings. Auto Configure updates the Device options list, Memory, and preview images to keep the printer driver consistent with the printing system configuration.

Not all installed devices are detected by using Auto Configure. Before selecting OK in Device Settings, check the settings to make sure that they are correct.

Note: The default setting for Windows XP Service Pack 2 is for the Windows Firewall to be set to On. The setting can be changed to allow communication between the printing system and your computer. In the Windows Security Alert dialog box, click Unblock.

Silent auto configuration is only available for printing systems installed in Windows 7 or Windows Vista.
