Constraint messages
Constraint messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific actions you
take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the capabilities
of the printer or the current settings of other controls. For example, if you click
Print on Both
Sides
and then change the paper type to transparencies, a message appears asking you to
resolve this conflict.
Figure 17: A typical constraint message with an OK button
Whenever a constraint message appears with an
OK
and a
Cancel
button, the interpretation of
the buttons is as follows:
•
Clicking
OK
accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting
control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.
•
Clicking
Cancel
rejects the change that was just made, setting the control back to its
previous value.
