not. You must enable (activate) the option in the printer driver after the option is installed.

driver. Here are the general steps you will follow.

About the 550 Sheet Feeder

The 550 sheet feeder is an optional single tray paper feeder that attaches under the printer. The
feeder holds a universal paper tray that accommodates a variety of print media and holds a max-
imum of 550 sheets of standard weight paper. The printer supplies all of the operating power
that is needed by the feeder, and motors and circuit boards internal to the feeder provide the
feeder with drive and operational logic.
At the start of a print run the feeder motor switches on and begins to feed a sheet of paper out of
a selected tray. Rubber rollers drive the sheet out of the tray, through the feeder, and into the
printer. Sensors monitor the progress of the paper as it travels through the feeder.
The 550 sheet feeder can be installed in the following configurations:
Printer and one 550 sheet feeder
Printer and two 550 sheet feeders
Select the driver you want to work with.
