This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can
utilize all of the hardware features installed in your printer.
Accessories such as hard disk, duplex unit (two sided printing),
additional paper trays, etc., will only be usable if the printer
driver on your computer knows they are there.
In some cases the hardware configuration of your printer 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 printer after the drivers have been
installed and set up.
