Help Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista 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 the What's this? option. A pop-up Help window appears. ● Click the ? button in the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X button, to change the cursor to an arrow with a question mark.

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 printer driver selections. These messages appear in response to selections that are illogical or impossible given the product 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 product to perform. Sending a job that has incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, see the product documentation to ensure that the product has the expected capabilities. In Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista operating environments, some technically invalid printer 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.

Incompatible Print Settings messages

Incompatible Print Settings

(constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response

to specific printer driver selections. These messages appear in response to selections that are illogical

or impossible given the product 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 product to perform. Sending a job that has incompatible

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

documentation to ensure that the product has the expected capabilities.

In Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista operating environments,

some technically invalid printer 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
