HP LaserJet M2727 MFP - Software Technical Reference

Installation overview
NOTE: The Readiris software uses a separate installer that comes in-box on a separate CD.
The Windows printing-system software for the product comes on a single CD. On Windows systems,
the printing-system software is installed from the CD onto the hard disk and Windows files are updated.
The following printing-system software installation types are available:
●
Recommended Install. Installs all the software for the product, including the user guide.
NOTE: Recommended Install is not available for Windows Server 2003.
The Recommended Install installation type includes the following options:
◦
Easy Install (recommended). Selecting this installation type indicates the acceptance of the
installation agreements and default settings.
◦
Advanced Install. Selecting this installation type allows you to review all of the installation
agreements and default settings. The Advanced Install installation type includes the
following options:
Recommended*. Selecting this installation type installs the software that the product needs
to work, including a suite of software that is recommended for installation.
Custom (for advanced users)*. Selecting this installation type allows you to choose what
software is installed.
●
Express USB Install. Installs the minimum software for a product that uses a direct USB
connection. Clicking this button indicates your acceptance of HP's Software License terms.
●
Express Network Install. Installs the minimum software for a product that is connected to a
network. Clicking this button indicates your acceptance of HP's Software License terms.
For all supported operating systems, each installation type presents a series of query dialog boxes that
guides the installation process. You are prompted to provide information about the computer
environment. The installer guides the installation, whether you are configuring a directly-connected or
a network-connected product.
The installer detects hardware and network connections, and helps guide the installation. For example,
if the installer detects an HP LaserJet M2727, it automatically configures the software connection to that
product. This saves several steps. If the installer detects fax capabilities or a network, it also directs
setting up those features.
To change the configuration settings, or if changes to the telephone service or computer environment
require new settings, the product-configuration software provides a simple, intuitive interface for
updating configuration settings. This is also a convenient alternative to specifying settings through the
product control panel.
