Once your new upgrade has been installed, you may need to update the printer driver so
that the additional features are available to your applications.
Accessories such as additional paper trays will only be usable if the printer driver on your
computer knows they are there.
In some cases the hardware configuration of your machine is automatically detected when
the driver is installed. However, it is advisable to at least check whether all of the available
hardware features are listed in the driver.
This procedure is essential if you subsequently add extra hardware features to your
machine after the drivers have been installed and set up.
Remember that if your machine is shared between users on different computers, the driver
must be adjusted on each user’s machine.
