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 device 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 device to perform. Sending a job with
incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check
the device documentation to ensure that the device has the expected capabilities.
