Software description Enterprise AutoConfiguration Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the printer driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the Admin CD or the Add Printer Wizard to install the printer driver. Printer-driver installation that includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the product. 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 printer driver. If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-communication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the printer driver with the product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the printer driver or whenever the Update Now feature is used. If the product configuration changes after installation, the printer driver can be automatically updated by using the Update Now feature in environments that support bidirectional communication. Update Now If the product configuration changes after installation, the printer driver can be automatically updated by using the Update Now feature in environments that support bidirectional communication. For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use Update Now to query the product and update the printer-driver settings to match the new product configuration. The Update Now feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the Device Settings tab of the HP PCL 6 printer driver. To activate Update Now, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then do one of the following: Windows 2000: Select Settings, and then click Printers. -or- Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional: Select Settings, and then select Printers and Faxes. -or- Windows XP Home: Click Control Panel, and then double-click the Printers and Other Hardware icon. -or- Windows Vista: Click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers. 2. Right-click the product name. 3. Click Properties. 4. Click Device Settings. 5. If necessary, click Installable Options to expand it and show the options. ENWW Windows printer-driver configuration 43
