Software description MS Windows driver configuration The HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in environments that support the drivers, provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for printer accessories at the time of installation. Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional paper trays, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). Topics: ● Driver autoconfiguration ● Bidirectional communication ● Enterprise AutoConfiguration ● Update Now ● HP Driver Preconfiguration Driver autoconfiguration NOTE The 64-bit operating systems do not support driver autoconfiguration. Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the following circumstances: ● When a print driver is installed by using Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) ● When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and EAC are not available in Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) operating systems over a direct connection when the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard. Table 2-2 Availability of automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication in Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 Connection type Network Direct connection Add Printer Wizard install Yes No Common installer Yes Yes Bidirectional communication In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the printer during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly. Bidirectional communication is the capability of the printer to respond to data inquiries from the computer and report information back, such as what type of print media is available or what accessories are connected to the printer. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer. If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer. 32 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW

MS Windows driver configuration

The HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which,

in environments that support the drivers, provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for printer

accessories at the time of installation.

Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional

paper trays, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Topics:

●

Driver autoconfiguration

●

Bidirectional communication

●

Enterprise AutoConfiguration

●

Update Now

●

HP Driver Preconfiguration

Driver autoconfiguration

NOTE

The 64-bit operating systems do not support driver autoconfiguration.

Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the

following circumstances:

●

When a print driver is installed by using Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC)

●

When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed

However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and EAC are

not

available in

Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) operating systems over a direct

connection when the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard.

Table 2-2

Bidirectional communication

In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the printer

during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.

Bidirectional communication is the capability of the printer to respond to data inquiries from the computer

and report information back, such as what type of print media is available or what accessories are

connected to the printer. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and

on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer.

If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept

commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer.
