The installer guides the installation, whether you are configuring a direct-connected or a network-
connected product.
The installer additionally detects hardware and network connections, and helps guide the installation.
For example, if the installer detects an HP LaserJet Pro 300 color M351 and HP LaserJet Pro 400
color MFP M451, it automatically configures the software connection to that product. This saves
several steps. If the installer detects a network, it also guides setting up those features.
