Software description Enterprise AutoConfiguration Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the printingsystem software CD or the Add Printer wizard to install the driver. Driver installation that includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the printer. Configuration occurs without user interaction. If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the preexisting bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver. If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-communication software that allows it to communicate with the printer and automatically match the print driver with the actual printer configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or whenever the Update Now feature is used. If the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer configuration changes after installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication by using the Update Now feature. Update Now If the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer configuration has been modified since installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. Use the Update Now feature to automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver. For example, if the printer is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use the Update Now feature to query the printer and update the settings to match the new printer configuration. The feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the Device Settings tab of the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation drivers. To activate the Update Now feature for these drivers, follow these steps: 1. Click Start. 2. Select Settings. 3. Click Printers (Windows 2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home). 4. Right-click the printer name. 5. Click Printing Preferences. 6. Click Device Settings. 7. If necessary, click Installable Options to expand it and show the options. 8. In the Automatic Configuration drop-down menu, select Update Now. 9. Click OK to save the setting.

Enterprise AutoConfiguration
Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration
functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the printing-
system software CD or the Add Printer wizard to install the driver. Driver installation that includes EAC
is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the printer. Configuration occurs
without user interaction.
If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the pre-
existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-communication
software that allows it to communicate with the printer and automatically match the print driver with the
actual printer configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or whenever the Update
Now feature is used.
If the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer configuration changes after installation, the driver can be
automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional
communication by using the Update Now feature.
