Configure the Optional Tray Settings (Windows)

Access your machine's Properties to auto-detect your machine's Optional Tray and check the machine's serial number.

      Click image>All apps>Windows Tools>Control Panel. In the Hardware and Sound group, click View devices and printers.

    • For Windows Server 2012 R2

      Click Control Panel on the Start screen. In the Hardware group, click View devices and printers.

    • For Windows Server 2012

      Move your mouse to the lower right corner of your desktop. When the menu bar appears, click Settings, and then click Control Panel. In the Hardware group, click View devices and printers.

  2. Right-click your model's icon, and then select Printer properties. (If printer driver options appear, select your printer driver.)
    The printer properties dialog box appears.
  3. Click the Device Settings tab.
  4. Click the Auto Detect button.

    The Optional Tray and the machine's serial number are automatically detected.
