Click OK to enable your settings, or, if necessary, click the Clear All button to reconfigure all of the trays and remove the size and type constraints that have been imposed on the Paper tab. Configure tab features The Configure tab is in the Properties section of the print driver. To gain access to the Properties tabs, click Start on the Window task bar, click Settings, and then click Printers. The Configure tab is also available when the driver is opened from the Printers folder by clicking Properties. When you open the driver from within a program, the Configure tab is not visible (with a few exceptions, such as when using Excel 5. 0 or Corel® Chart 4. 0). Use the Configure tab to tell the driver about the product hardware configuration. If bidirectional communication is enabled in a supported environment, configure the settings on this tab by clicking the Update Now button. If your environment does not support bidirectional communication, the Update Now button is unavailable, so you must manually configure the options on this tab. When opened from the Printers folder, the Configure tab appears as shown in the following illustration.

HP traditional PCL 6 and PCL 5e driver features 139 HP traditional drivers NOTE The HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printer supports smart duplexing.
