Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, select the media input tray), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over printer driver settings. Printer driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings. Changes to print settings are prioritized depending on where the changes are made. NOTE: The names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program. ● Page Setup dialog box: Click the Page Setup option or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed here override settings changed anywhere else. ● Print dialog box: Click the Print option, Print Setup option, or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box. ● Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver): Click the Properties option in the Print dialog box to open the printer driver. Settings changed in the Printer Properties dialog box do not override settings anywhere else in the printing software. ● Default printer driver settings: The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in all print jobs unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog boxes. ● Printer control panel settings: Settings changed at the printer control panel have a lower priority than changes made anywhere else. 118 Chapter 4 HP PCL 5, PCL 6, and PS emulation drivers for Windows ENWW
