Constraints
The .CFG/.CFM file is encoded with all of the same constraints that the drivers
enforce. As a result, if the user of the HP Driver Configuration Editor attempts to set
features to an invalid combination, a warning dialog box appears, and the feature
change that triggered the warning is returned to its original state. For example, if the
Media Type
option is set to
Transparency
when
Print on Both Sides
(Duplex)
is set to
True
, an
Invalid Selection
dialog box appears, as shown in
