HP traditional drivers Figure 3-31 Device Options tab in Windows 98 NOTE Changes that you make to the Device Settings tab are not reflected in the Document Defaults settings until the modified device settings have been applied. For example, the duplexing unit will not appear until you modify the Configure tab, apply the settings, and then re-open Document Defaults. The Device Settings tab contains the following options: ■ Form to Tray Assignment ■ Font Substitution Table ■ PostScript Configure ■ Installable Options Form to Tray Assignment Many products support more than one source of media, such as upper and lower trays. You can assign a form (which defines the media size and margins) to each of your product media sources. When a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print from your software programs. The product prints from the tray to which that form is assigned.
