Auto-Connect Printer
The method described in section 4.4 is called manual-connect, which means users must
manually connect the USB printer before using that device, and must manually
disconnect the USB printer device after using the device, otherwise no one else can
connect. However, for printers and scanners (and MFPs), the HMPS1A supports
auto-connect so users don’t need to manually connect/disconnect. This sections show
you how to do this.
After the driver is installed as described in section 4.4, you can see a newly created
printer in the setup software’s “Printers and Faxes”. Follow the steps below to do a
