Auto Configure
Auto Configure detects the devices installed on the printing system if it is
connected over a network. Auto Configure can detect printing system devices
such as input devices, output devices, and RAM disk size. When your computer
is connected to the printing system through a TCP/IP port, the Auto
Configure button appears in the Device Settings tab. Auto Configure
updates the Device options list, Memory, RAM disk, and preview images to
keep the printer driver consistent with the printing system configuration.
Not all installed devices are detected by using Auto Configure. Before
selecting OK in the Device Settings tab, check the settings to make sure that
they are correct.
Note: The default setting for Windows XP Service Pack 2 is for the Windows
Firewall to be set to On. The setting can be changed to allow communication
between the printing system and your computer. In the Windows Security
Alert dialog box, click Unblock.
Silent Auto Configure
Silent Auto Configure checks the printing system every 10 minutes for
changes in optional devices or memory. When a change is detected, the driver
is automatically updated with the new settings. Silent Auto Configure is only
available for printing systems installed in Windows 7 or Windows Vista.
In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as
a restricted user.
Enabling Auto Configuration
The Auto Configure button can be used to detect all available device options
when the printing system is connected to a network through a TCP/IP port.

Verify that all optional devices are attached to the printing system, and that it is
turned on and ready to print.
