HP LaserJet Pro 500 color MFP M570 - Software Technical Reference

includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the product.

Configuration occurs without user interaction.

If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the

pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.

If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-

communication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the

print driver with the actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or

whenever the Update Now feature is used.

If the product configuration changes after installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the

new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication by using the Update Now

feature.

The following tables show the availability of EAC for various operating systems and network

environments that support bidirectional communication.
