When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users.

setting has been locked to
True
.
A small icon showing a padlock appears next to the setting in the UI. As a result, the user is
unable to print from this driver on only one side of the page. If the driver is installed on a server,
clients connecting to that printer are also unable to print on only one side of the page.
