Help system
The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver include a full-featured Help
system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
What's this? Help
Windows 98 and Windows Me support What's this? Help. You can 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 at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, 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 F1 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 Options messages
Incompatible Options settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in
response to specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or
impossible given the product capabilities or the current settings of other controls. For example, if you
click Print on Both Sides and then change the media type to Transparency, a message appears asking
you to resolve this conflict.
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 with
incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check
the product documentation for the product capabilities.`
Figure 3-1 A typical constraint message with an OK button
Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK and Cancel buttons, the interpretation of the
buttons is as follows:
●
Click OK to accept the change that was just made. The driver then resets the conflicting control to
a setting that is compatible with the new value.
●
Click Cancel to reject the change that was just made. The control returns to its previous value.
