communication between the printing system and your computer.

Auto Configure currently supports only TCP/IP ports for Microsoft Windows 2000, XP
and Vista operating systems.
A TCP/IP port can be either an IP address or the printing system name (Host name).
Silent Auto Configuration
Silent Auto Configuration is an automatic detection tool that runs in the background,
periodically polling the printing system for information. Therefore the user is not
required to make a manual request for the configuration. An additional benefit is that
the driver is always up-to-date, even if devices are added or removed or the
configuration otherwise altered after the printing system and driver installation.
Note: The Silent Auto Configuration feature is only available on a Vista operating
system connected to a network.
Silent Auto Configuration is also triggered by certain events:
• When the printing system is in the process of startup or a spooler system is
restarted.
• When there is a detected configuration change in the printing system.
• When changing to or using a new TCP/IP port.
