Installing Optional Devices
In Printer Properties, open the Device Settings tab. For each optional device
installed in your printing system, select the equivalent setting under the Device
options list.
For models connected to a network, the Auto Configure button can be used to
detect all available devices. See Auto Configure for more information. You can also

PrinterProperties
User Guide 2-2
specify the memory setting, PDL (Page Description Language), settings for the user,
administrator settings for passwords and more.
Auto Configure
Auto Configure detects the installed device options on the printing system if it is
connected over a network. It detects printing system devices such as input devices,
output devices, and hard disk size. Then it updates the Device options list in the
Device Settings tab. Auto Configure keeps the printer driver’s Device Settings
consistent with the actual printing system devices. This is a manual process and can
be run at any time.
Note: Not all installed devices are detected by using Auto Configure. Before
selecting OK in the Device Settings tab, check the settings to make sure they are
correct.
The Auto Configure feature cannot communicate with a printer if the printer is
powered off or in the middle of startup. In these cases, the driver displays the
message, Please verify that the printer is powered on and ready to print.
If the driver’s model is different from the actual printer model at the port, Auto
Configure stopsthe device settings update and displays the message, The selected
TCP/IP port is connected to a network printer that does not match the current printer
driver. In order to use the Auto Configure feature, select a TCP/IP port that matches
the current printer driver.
Under the following conditions the Auto Configure tool cannot communicate with the
printing system:
• The Windows XP firewall prevents the communication. It opens a Windows
Security Alert dialog box with this message: Do you want to keep blocking this
program? (Keep Blocking, Unblock, Ask me Later).
TheMicrosoftWindowsXPFirewallsettingscanbechangedto allow communication
between the printing system and your computer. The default setting for Windows XP
Service Pack 2 is for the Windows Firewall to be set to On.

AutoConfigurecurrentlysupportsonly TCP/IPportsfor MicrosoftWindows2000,XP
and Vista operating systems.
A TCP/IP port can be either an IP address or the printing system name (Host name).
Silent Auto Configuration
Silent Auto Configuration is an automatic detection tool that runs in the background,
periodically polling the printing system for information. Therefore the user is not
required to make a manual request for the configuration. An additional benefit is that
the driver is always up-to-date, even if devices are added or removed or the
configuration otherwise altered after the printing system and driver installation.
Note: The Silent Auto Configuration feature is only available on a Vista operating
system connected to a network.
Silent Auto Configuration is also triggered by certain events:
• When the printing system is in the process of startup or a spooler system is
restarted.
• When there is a detected configuration change in the printing system.
• When changing to or using a new TCP/IP port.
Setting Auto Configuration
Configuring the physical device settings of a printer on the Device Settings >
Properties page maintains consistency between the printer driver’s Device settings
and the actual printer devices. To set Auto Configuration:
1In the Printers directory, right-click on the printer and select Properties.1
2Click the Device Settings tab. 2
3Click Auto Configure. The following dialog box appears: 3
4Ensure Silent auto-configuration is selected.
TheSilent auto-configuration checkboxis thecontrolforautoconfigurationwithout
manual intervention. When selected, it polls for printer configuration changes after
time intervals (default is 10 minutes). When a change is detected in the printing
system’s configuration, the driver’s information is automatically updated so that

PrinterProperties

whenever you use the driver, it contains the latest configuration detected from the
printer.
5To request a configuration of the printing system right away, click Auto-Configure
Now. This prompts the driver to immediately retrieve printer configurations. Silent
auto-configuration only updates when it detects a change in the printer. Therefore, it
is advisable, after selecting Silent auto-configuration to also click on Auto-
Configure Now. This ensures that current settings are up-to-date. 4
The printer driver updates the Device Options list according to the retrieved device
information. It updates the check box settings in the Device Options list and the
Preview image. It also updates the Memory and RAM Disk information.
6Click OK to exit the Auto-Configure dialog box.

is required to optimize the downloading of printing system fonts. 3
If you don’t know the memory capacity of your printing system, you can use Auto
Configure so the information can be automatically selected. 4
RAM Disk
The RAM disk functions as a virtual hard disk saving print requests into the printing
system’s memory if a hard disk for printing is not installed. If you have a hard disk
installed, the RAM disk function is inactive.
Note: Because the RAM disk is volatile memory, all data sent to the printing system
is lost when the power is turned off.
RAM Disk Settings
1In the Device options list, select the RAM disk check box. The memory capacity
can be adjusted in the RAM disk box.
Note: RAM disk is functional when it is enabled in the printer.
2Specify the RAM disk size. The maximum RAM disk capacity may vary depending
on the amount of memory installed.
Matching the memory setting in the driver with the memory installed in the printing
system allows font downloads to be better managed by the driver.For more
information, see the printing system's Operation Guide.

Job Accounting
With Job accounting, you can assign account IDs to print jobs, or work with IDs
already created at the printing system. Job accounting features help you manage
and control the number of copies in a printing system. Account IDs for newer models
must be 8 digits or less.
A maximum of 100 account IDs can be assigned at the printing system and stored in
the printer driver. For complete information about the job accounting features of the
printing system, please see the Operation Guide for your particular model.
Job accounting includes the following options:
Use specific account ID: This option can be used to specify a single account ID to
manage the print jobs of aspecific user. When the user prints, your jobs are sent with
the account ID. You can use Password protect administrator settings to protect
access to the Administrator Settings dialog box, so that the user cannot see or
change this setting.
Prompt for account ID: This option can be used to prompt the user for an account
ID when printing. When sending a print job, type an account ID when prompted, then
click OK to print. The account ID must be one that has been registered at the printing
system, or the job does not print.
Prompt for account ID and validate: This option can be used to prompt the user
to specify an account ID that is saved in the driver. When sending a print job, type an
account ID when prompted, then click OK to print. The account ID is validated
against the account ID list, so you must type an ID from the list, or you cannot print.

PrinterProperties
User Guide 2-6
Display account ID list: This option can be used to display the list of IDs entered in
the account ID list of the driver when sending a print job. This gives the user a
selection of account IDs to choose from.
Account ID List: This option can be use to add, edit, or delete account IDs from the
account ID list of the driver. You can also give the IDs text descriptions to help
manage and track them. After an account ID list is created, the list can be exported
as a group by saving it as a text file (.CSV). To import an account ID list, browse for
an existing list and save it in your printer driver.

in each print job. This feature is used by billing or accounting applications to track
cost differences between pages printed with black toner only, and more expensive
color pages. Optional third party accounting software can read and process the print
information embedded in each page. Embedded information does not affect the
appearance of printed documents. Select Color page count to enable this feature.
For accounting purposes:
• A page with any color is counted as a color page.
• A page with black only is counted as a monochrome page.
• A blank page is counted as a monochrome page.
