What's this? Help
In Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, What's this? Help is
supported. You can gain access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
Right-click a control and click What's this?, and 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. Use this special cursor to select a control, and 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
Press the Help button on a 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 you take. These messages
alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the printer or the current settings of other
controls. For example, if you click Print on Both Sides and then change the paper type to transparencies, a message
appears asking you to resolve this conflict.
