HP traditional drivers Copies Use the Copies option to specify the number of copies to print. The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies group box. You can select the number by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the Basics tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1. Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible. Orientation Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the manner in which media is fed into the product. You can specify the orientation of the print job. The three available orientations are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait. NOTE Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation. The Orientation group box contains three options: ■ Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media. ■ Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media. ■ Rotate by 180 degrees. This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is rotated 180 degrees. This setting is useful for printing prepunched media. You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image. If you select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box, no change occurs in the document preview image. Document preview image The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of all of the Document Defaults driver tabs except the Job Storage tab. For more information about the document preview image, see the Finishing tab features section of this chapter. About When you click the About button on the Basics tab, or you click the HP logo on any of the driver Properties tabs, the About This Driver dialog box appears. To close the About box, click OK, press Esc, press Alt + F4, or press Enter. The following figure shows the About This Driver dialog box. The information it contains varies according to driver, date, and version. 142 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows

Copies
Use the
Copies
option to specify the number of copies to print.
The number of copies that you request appears in the
Copies
group box. You can select the number
by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are
numbers from 1 to 9999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1
when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down arrow
is used. When you click another group box or leave the
Basics
tab, invalid entries into the edit box
(such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed)
are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts
between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software
program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the
program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does
not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10
copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being
printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible.
Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the manner in which
media is fed into the product. You can specify the orientation of the print job. The three available
orientations are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is
Portrait
.
NOTE
Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the
page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an
orientation.
The
Orientation
group box contains three options:
Portrait.
The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media.
Landscape.
The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media.
Rotate by 180 degrees.
This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is
rotated 180 degrees. This setting is useful for printing prepunched media.
You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image.
If you select the
Rotate by 180 degrees
check box, no change occurs in the document preview
image.
Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of all of the
Document Defaults
driver
tabs except the
Job Storage
tab. For more information about the document preview image, see the
Finishing
tab
features
section of this chapter.
