SETTING THE DRIVER DEVICE OPTIONS

This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can utilize all of the hardware features installed in your printer.

Accessories such as hard disk, duplex unit (two sided printing), additional paper trays, etc., will only be usable if the printer driver on your computer knows they are there.

In some cases the hardware configuration of your printer is automatically detected when the driver is installed. However, it is advisable to at least check whether all of the available hardware features are listed in the driver.

This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra hardware features to your printer after the drivers have been installed and set up.
