Installing Optional Devices
In the Printer Properties dialog box, go to the Device Settings tab. For each
optional device installed in your printing system, select the equivalent setting under
the Device Options list. Available devices include finishers, paper feeders, large
capacity feeder, hard disk, mailbox, and folding unit.
For models connected to a network, the Auto Configure button can be used to
detect all available devices. See Auto Configure for more information. You can also
specify the memory setting, PDL (Page Description Language), settings for the user,
and more.
Auto Configure
Auto Configure detects the installed device options on the printing system if it is
connected over a network. This button appears in the Device Settings tab.
Auto Configure can detect printing system devices such as input devices, output
devices, and hard disk size. Then it updates the Device options list in the Device
Settings tab. Auto Configure keeps the printer driver’s Device Settings consistent
with the actual printing system devices.
Note: Not all installed devices are detected by using Auto Configure. Before
selecting OK in the Device Settings tab, check the settings to make sure they are
correct.
