Help system

The HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation drivers include a full-featured Help system to provide

assistance with printing and configuration options.

What's this? Help

Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 support What's this? Help. Gain access to

What's this?

Help messages in any of the following ways:

●

Right-click a control and then click

What's this?

. A pop-up Help window appears.

●

Click the

button in the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the

, to change the cursor to an

arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control, the pop-up Help

window for that feature appears.

●

Press the

key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.

Context-sensitive Help

When you click the

Help

button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, a context-sensitive Help message

appears.

Incompatible Print Settings messages

Incompatible Print Settings

(constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response

to specific print-driver selections. These messages appear in response to selections that are illogical or

impossible given the device capabilities or the current settings of other controls.

NOTE

Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept

some settings that are illogical or impossible for the device to perform. Sending a job that has

incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, see

the device documentation to ensure that the device has the expected capabilities.

In Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating environments, some technically

invalid print-driver configurations result in warning messages when trying to save the conflicting settings

in the driver. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency media type is selected.

The following figure shows an example of an

Incompatible Print Settings

message.
