Device Settings tab The Device Settings tab communicates the hardware configuration of the printer to the driver. The Device Settings tab appears whenever the driver is opened from the Printers folder by selecting and right-clicking the printer, and then clicking Properties... for the driver. When the driver is opened from within a program, the Device Settings tab is not visible. When opened from the Printers folder, the Device Settings tab appears, as shown in the following illustration. Figure 56: Device Settings tab Note Each model of the HP LaserJet 2300 printer device has its own list of configurable items; see the HP LaserJet 2300 User Guide for detailed information. The following descriptions are for installable options that may be supported by one or more printer models. Changes made to the Device Settings tab are not reflected in the Printing Preferences settings until the modified device settings have been applied. For example, the duplexing unit will not appear until you modify the Device Settings tab, apply the settings, and then re-open Printing Preferences. Form to Tray Assignment A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the paper size in each paper tray. Many printers support more than one source of paper, such as upper and lower trays. You can assign a form (which defines the paper size and margins) to each of your printer's paper sources. Once a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print from your programs. The printer prints from the tray to which that form is assigned. The Form to Tray Assignment setting allows network administrators to specify, in the driver, the media size that is loaded into each available paper tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are available in the media-size lists on the Paper tab. This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the printer with paper-mount messages that occur when users request sizes or types that are not available.
