Windows printer-driver configuration
The HP PCL 6 printer driver features bidirectional communication technology which, in environments
that support the printer driver, provides automatic discovery and printer-driver configuration for product
accessories at the time of installation.
Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional
paper trays, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Printer-driver autoconfiguration
NOTE: The 64-bit operating systems do not support printer-driver autoconfiguration.
Automatic discovery and printer-driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the
following circumstances:
●
When a printer driver is installed by using Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC)
●
When the Update Now feature is used for a printer driver that is already installed
However, as shown in the following table, printer-driver auto configuration and EAC are not available in
32-bit Windows operating systems over a direct connection when the printing-system software is
installed by using the Add Printer Wizard. Direct connection is a parallel or USB port connection.

Network Yes Yes
Direct connection No Yes
Bidirectional communication
In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product
during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the printer driver
accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the
computer, such as inquiries regarding the type of print media that is available and the accessories that
are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system
and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the connection does
not have this capability, the product can accept commands but cannot respond to data inquiries from
the host computer.
