Software features
Automatic configuration, Update Now, and Preconfiguration features are available with the
HP Color LaserJet 4650 series printer.
Driver Autoconfiguration
The HP LaserJet PCL 6 and PCL 5c drivers for Windows and the PS drivers for
Windows 2000 and Windows XP feature automatic discovery and driver configuration for
printer accessories at the time of installation. Some accessories that the Driver
Autoconfiguration supports are the duplexing unit, optional paper trays, and dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs). If the environment supports bidirectional communication, the
installer presents Driver Autoconfiguration as an installable component by default for a
Typical Installation and for a Custom Installation.
Update Now
If you have modified the configuration of the HP Color LaserJet 4650 printer since
installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in
environments that support bidirectional communication. Click the Update Now button to
automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver.
Note
The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP clients are connected to Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP hosts.
