personal settings) are considered for the import data.

- Automatically restart the printer after applying new settings
If this check box is selected, the printer automatically restarts after communication settings are applied. If
this check box is cleared, you must restart the printer manually.
When configuring multiple printers, you can reduce the time needed to change settings by clearing this
check box. In this case, we recommend selecting this check box when configuring the first printer so that
you can confirm that each setting is operating as intended.
- Automatically detects the connected printer, and retrieves the current settings
If this check box is selected and a printer is connected to the computer, the printer is automatically
detected and the printer's current settings are displayed in the
Current Status pane.
If the connected printer is different from the printer shown in the Printer drop-down list, the settings
available on all tabs change to match the connected printer.
