HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 printers - Software Technical Reference Manual

Basics tab features
The Basics tab provides options for setting the number of copies to be printed and for the orientation of the print job.
You can also use it to retrieve information about the driver.

Copies
Use the Copies feature to specify the number of copies to print.
The number of copies you request appears in the Copies box. You can select the number by typing in the box or by
using the up and down arrows to the right of the edit box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999 for the HP LaserJet
4200 and 4300 series printers. 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 you want from some programs, conflicts between the program you are
using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the 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.
