Print Task Quick Sets
Use the Print Task Quick Sets control to store the current combination of driver settings that appear
on all other Properties driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are either preset (by the administrator) or
user-defined printing specifications, such as media size and pages per sheet. For more information, see
Paper/Quality tab features.
Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the manner in which media
is fed into the printer. You can specify the orientation of the print job. The three available orientations
are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait.
NOTE Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page
orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation.
The Orientation group box contains three options:
●
Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media.
●
Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media.
You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image.
Page order
Use the options in the Page order group box to determine the order in which your print job will print.
The following options are available:
●
Front to back. Use this option to print page one of your print job first.
●
Back to front. Use this option to print page one of your print job last.
Copies
Use the Copies option to specify the number of copies to print.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies group box. You can select the number
by typing in the Copy Count text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box.
Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999 for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer. The copies value will
not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the
maximum number (9999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the
Basics tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or
numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the
box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts
between the software program that you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software
program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the
program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not
take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in
the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It
is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible.
