“What's this?” Help
"What's this?" Help is supported in Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows
Vista. You can access the "What's this?" Help messages in the following ways:
●
Right-click a control button on a screen. For example, on the Properties tab screen, right-click
either the Printing Preferences button or the Print Test Page button. A small What's this? box
appears. Right-click the What's this? box, and a pop-up Help window appears.
●
Click the ? button in the upper-right corner of the screen frame, next to the X, to change the cursor
to an arrow with a question mark. Use this special cursor to select a control, and the Help window
for that feature appears.
●
Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.
Context-sensitive Help
Click the Help button on a printer-driver tab or in a dialog box, and context-sensitive Help appears.
Constraint messages
Constraint messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific actions that are
illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the product or the current settings of other controls. For
example, if you click Print on Both Sides and then change the paper type to Transparency, a message
appears containing options on how to resolve this conflict.
