Because applications can also be used to set the desired number of copies, conflicts
between the application and the driver can arise. In most cases, the application and
the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the
application) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some applications, this
communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently.
For these applications, setting 10 copies in the application and then setting 10 copies
in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended to set
the number of copies in the application, wherever possible.
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.
The three orientation options have these configurations:
• Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the paper.
• Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the paper.
• Rotated. Rotated is a form of landscape or portrait in which the image is rotated
180 degrees. This setting is useful for printing envelopes and when using some
third-party paper-handling devices.
Orientation can toggle between portrait and landscape by left-clicking the preview
image. If you select the
Rotate by 180 degrees check box, there is no change in the
preview image.
