All the Printer Properties dialog boxes shown in this Guide are for Windows 95. If you are using Windows
98, the screens are almost identical and are used in precisely the same way.
If you are running Windows 3.1, the design of the Printer Driver Setup window differs slightly and the
screens are used differently as a result. Refer to the “Quick Start Guide” and the printer driver help
screens for details.
