This section explains how to ensure that your printer driver can utilise 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 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.
