# Updating Custom Settings According to the Current Printer Configuration

There are two kinds of custom settings displayed in the printer properties dialog box: those registered automatically during installation of the printer driver and custom settings added later by the user. Since these custom settings are not deleted automatically, depending on the installed options, some custom settings that cannot be used to print may remain.

To keep only custom settings that can be used with the options installed, follow the procedure below to update custom settings after you install or uninstall options. The following is how each kind of custom settings will be updated:

- Custom settings registered automatically during printer driver installation

  Custom settings that can still be used remain registered. Custom settings that cannot be used are deleted.

- Custom settings registered by user

  Custom settings that cannot be used are deleted. Deleted custom settings cannot be recovered.

- If bidirectional communication is not working, you must configure installed options in the [Printer Configuration] dialog box before performing this procedure.

Open the printer properties dialog box.

Click the [Setup], [Page Settings], or [Edit] tab.

Click [Manage...].

The [Manage Custom Settings] dialog box appears.

Click [Refresh Printer Information].

- If bidirectional communication is working, printer configuration settings in the [Accessories] area and custom settings in the [Custom Settings:] list are updated.

- If bidirectional communication is not working, custom settings in the [Custom Settings:] list are updated according to the current printer configuration settings in the [Accessories] area.

Click [Close].

Click [OK].

The printer properties dialog box closes.
