Install Hardware Options
This section assists you installing common printer connectivity modules and media
handling options.
Important • To simplify and speed up the setup process, install all connectivity modules
and media handling options before setting up and using your printer for the first time.
Important • It is strongly recommended that you update your printer’s firmware after the
printer has completed the setup process. Many of these options have internal firmware that
require an update to operate properly with the printer’s Main Logic Board’s installed
firmware version.
