The installer guides the installation, whether you are configuring a direct-connected or a network-
connected product.
The installer additionally detects hardware and network connections, and helps guide the installation.
For example, if the installer detects an HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 Printer Series, it automatically
configures the software connection to that product. This saves several steps. If the installer detects a
network, it also guides setting up those features.
