Two types of features can be configured: ● Device settings ● Printing-preferences settings HP Driver Preconfiguration configures the driver to match the accessories that are installed on the printer, or to match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration .CFG file (for example, optional trays, total amount of memory, or job-storage settings).
