═══ 1. Printer Device Driver ═══ When data is sent from your computer to the printer, it must be converted into a language that the printer understands. The Printer Device Driver converts data into the Hewlett-Packard* (HP*) LaserJet* printer command language (PCL*), an industry standard printer language. Notes:  If you want to print data in some other printer language, such as PostScript*, you need to install the printer driver for that language.  To use this printer driver with the IBM LaserPrinter 4029*, you must have the PCL 5 emulation option installed in your printer. (You can determine whether your printer has this option from the emulation setting on the printer operator panel. See your printer documentation for instructions on displaying the emulation setting.) The information in this driver is divided into two notebooks: Printer Properties and Job Properties. To print jobs correctly, you need to set properties in both notebooks.  Before you send any print jobs, use the Printer Properties notebook to describe how your printer is physically set up (for example, what paper trays and options are installed and the types of print material that are going to be used with each one). This lets your applications know the capabilities of your printer.  Use the Job Properties notebook to select settings that change frequently from job to job (for example, orientation and duplexing). You usually set job properties from your application, though not all applications call the settings job properties. For example, in some applications, you display job properties by selecting a Setup or an Options choice. Note: If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the printer looks for these settings in other places. For a description of how the printer searches for job properties, see Locating Job Properties. For more information about using the printer driver, see the Printer Properties Notebook and the Job Properties Notebook Help topics.

Printer Properties Notebook ═══ Before you send any print jobs, select settings in this notebook to describe how your printer is physically set up. This enables the driver to adapt its selections to the printer's capabilities and ensures that jobs print correctly. Tip  Print settings that change frequently from job to job, such as orientation and duplexing, are called job properties. For information about job properties, see the Job Properties Notebook Help topic. The Printer Properties notebook is made up of several pages and push buttons. To view a specific page of the notebook, click the appropriate notebook tab. To view pages consecutively, click the controls in the top right corner of any notebook page. Tip  The notebook settings are for the printer named in the title bar of the Printer Properties window. The Printer Properties notebook contains the following pages and push buttons. Depending on the model of your printer, the printer driver may not contain the Cards page.

PM_Q_RAW jobs might take more time to be added to the spool queue, but might take less time to be removed from the spool queue than PM_Q_STD jobs. PM_Q_STD The file created when the job is added to the spool queue consists of device-independent Presentation Manager*(OS/2*) commands. PM_Q_STD jobs might take less time to be added to the spool queue, but might take more time to be removed from the spool queue than PM_Q_RAW jobs. This is the default setting.

Job Properties Notebook ═══ Print settings that change frequently from job to job (for example, orientation, resolution, and duplexing) are called job properties. Job properties are usually set from your application (though not all applications call these settings job properties). For example, in some applications, you display job properties by selecting a Setup or an Options choice. Note: If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the printer driver looks for these settings in other locations. For an explanation of locations in which you can set job properties and the order in which the printer looks at each location, see Locating Job Properties. The Job Properties notebook is made up of several pages and push buttons. To view a specific page of the notebook, click the appropriate notebook tab. To view pages consecutively, click the controls in the top right corner of any notebook page. The notebook settings are for the printer named in the title bar of the Job Properties window. The Job Properties notebook contains the following pages and push buttons. Depending on your printer model, your driver may not contain the Layout page, the Watermark page, the Color page or the Output page.

Related Topics  Locating Job Properties  Printer Messages  Options Page ═══ 3.2.4. Printer Fonts ═══ Select the Printer Fonts check box to indicate whether printer device fonts are available for graphics data jobs. With Printer Fonts selected, printing is faster because programs can choose printer device fonts for your job and a smaller spool file is created than when systemfonts are used. Note: Occasionally, selecting Printer Fonts produces results that are different on the printer than on the display. In these cases, deselecting Printer Fonts may give the best results. Related Topics  Locating Job Properties  Options Page ═══ 3.2.5. Printer Patterns ═══ Select the Printer Patterns check box to enable internal printer patterns to be substituted for system patterns in filled graphic paths. Using Printer Patterns lets jobs containing shaded and patterned areas to print substantially faster and require smaller spool files. This feature should not be used if printer output should exactly match patterns displayed on your screen, or if there are overlapping shaded or patterned graphics in your document. Note: Occasionally, selecting Printer Patterns produces results that are different on the printer than on the display. In these cases, deselecting Printer Patterns may give the best results. Related Topics  Locating Job Properties  Printer Messages  Options Page ═══ 3.2.6. Fast System Fonts ═══ Select the Fast System Fonts check box to enable downloading of OS/2* system fonts. System fonts are copied to the printer's memory, which lets your job print faster and requires a smaller spool file than jobs that are in graphic font form. This feature should not be used if you are overlapping system fonts with graphics. Note: Occasionally, selecting Fast System Fonts produces results that are different on the printer than on the display. In these cases, deselecting Fast System Fonts may give the best results. Related Topics  Locating Job Properties  Job Types  Options Page  Resolution ═══ 3.2.7. Large Buffers ═══ Select the Large Buffers check box to enable large buffers. For computers with at least 8MB of memory, using Large Buffers increases print speed. For computers with less than 8MB of memory, do not use Large Buffers. Related Topics  Locating Job Properties  Options Page ═══ 3.2.8. Graphic Mode ═══ Use this list box to select the graphic mode. Auto Select Auto Select causes the printer driver to automatically select the Graphic Mode based on the active application. Raster Raster uses the printer's PCL* emulator to process the data describing the page to be printed. When Raster is selected the printer driver sends the text content of the page as character strings and sends the graphic content as image data. GL/2 GL/2 uses the printer's GL/2 emulator to process the data describing the page to be printed. When GL/2 is selected the printer driver sends the text content of the page as character strings and sends the graphic content as GL drawing commands. GL/2 allows faster printing of graphic objects, such as lines and circles used in charts and spreadsheets. XL/Enhanced XL/Enhanced (Monochrome) XL/Enhanced uses the printer's enhanced PCL XL emulator to process the data for printed pages. This selection is available on PCL 6 printers. Related Topics  Locating Job Properties  Job Types  Options Page ═══ 3.2.9. XL/Enhanced ═══ XL/Enhanced graphic mode is designed especially for printing complex documents. Documents that combine printed words and scanned images with special effects may be reproduced crisper and clearer using XL/Enhanced. XL/Enhanced works well with digital imaging and is flexible enough to be compatible with future applications. The majority of users, however, will see little advantage using XL/Enhanced unless they regularly work with the complex documents described above. ═══ 3.2.10. Resolution ═══ Use the Resolution field to select a number, in dots per inch (dpi) increments, that represents the resolution in which you want graphics produced on your printer. You can scroll the list to see all of the settings. Laser printers process device fonts in the highest available resolution, and can mix high resolution text with lower resolution graphics. Select the highest dpi for the best quality. Because printing high resolution takes longer, you can use this setting for final documents. Select a low number to print faster; for example, to produce drafts of documents. This option only applies to graphics data jobs; it does not apply to raw data jobs. Note: Depending on the printer's capabilities, there are several controls that affect the quality of the printed page. These include resolution, PQET, IET, Image Print Quality, and Bitmap Format. Related Topics  Fast System Fonts  Automatic Mode Switching  Locating Job Properties  Job Types  Options Page ═══ 3.2.11. Bitmap Format ═══ The Bitmap Format setting affects the quality of your printed output because the data on each output page is converted into a bitmap before printing. You should match the Bitmap Format setting to the element on your page with the highest number of bits to get the best print quality. However, higher Bitmap Format settings can slow print speed. Bitmap Format settings available for Color output are: 4 Bit Color Lets you print up to 16 colors. 8 Bit Color Lets you print up to 256 colors. 24 Bit Color Lets you print up to 16.7 million colors. Bitmap Format settings available for Monochrome output are: Monochrome Gray scaling is rendered by the printer driver. 4 Bit Gray Scale Up to 16 colors are rendered to levels of gray by the printer. 8 Bit Gray Scale Up to 256 colors are rendered to levels of gray by the printer. 24 Bit Gray Scale Up to 16.7 million colors are rendered to levels of gray by the printer.

Use the Fonts list box to select a font for jobs that do not already have a font selected; for example, graphics data jobs or raw data jobs. You can scroll the list to see more fonts. The fonts listed (except for System Font) are device fonts. Select System Font to use a font supplied by the operating system. Note: For raw-data jobs, which cannot use system fonts, the printer driver uses the font (and its corresponding symbol set) selected on the printer's operator panel. Code Pages and Symbol Sets: The code page used for printing is the current system code page or a code page selected by a program. Printer device fonts are supported in symbol sets that may or may not correspond to OS/2* supported code pages. Fonts listed with a symbol set, in parenthesis, have only the code points from that symbol set available. Fonts that are not listed with a symbol set are available in multiple symbol sets. If the font is followed by an asterisk (*), the font is an extended symbol set font and is not supported in OS/2 code pages. All fonts without an asterisk are supported in all OS/2 code pages that have characters common with the fonts's symbol set(s). Any font listed with [Outline] instead of a numeric point size next to it is a printer outline font. You can select the point size for outline fonts using the Outline Font Pt. Size list box.

Related Topics  Overlay Association  Locating Job Properties  Adding Overlays  Printing with an Overlay  Printer Properties Overlays Page  Job Properties Overlays Page ═══ check box ═══ A square box with associated text that represents a choice. When you select the choice, a check mark appears in the check box to indicate that the choice is in effect. You can clear the check box by selecting the choice again. Contrast with radio button. ═══ check mark ═══ A symbol that shows that a choice is active. This symbol is used in menus and check boxes. See check box. ═══ code page ═══ The set of characters used to display data on the screen or to print on the printer. ═══ default ═══ A value, an attribute, or an option that is assumed when another is not explicitly specified. ═══ device font ═══ A font particular to the printer. Some device fonts have size and language-support restrictions. Printer device fonts are internal to the printer hardware, or they can be installed as a card, or downloaded to printer memory. They print faster than system fonts. See also system font. ═══ disk option ═══ An option that can be installed in some printers, which provides a location for permanent storage of soft fonts and overlay macros. The contents of a disk option are unaffected by printer resets. ═══ download font ═══ A soft font copied (downloaded) to the memory of your printer. See download font files. ═══ download font files ═══ Files needed for each download font are typically supplied on a diskette in a download font package. The files are frequently installed into a directory (such as C:\AUTOFONT) by a font installation program. Download font support files typically include:  A download font file, which usually has the extension SFS or SFT for outline fonts, but may have any extension for bitmap fonts.  Font Metric files, with the extension TFM, which carry the information about the font. These files are required for outline fonts.  A GLUE.TXT file, which identifies the location of the font support files. The GLUE.TXT file is optional for bitmap download fonts. When the printer driver installs a download font it creates a file, with the extension FMF, which contains the information about the font. ═══ download overlay ═══ An overlay macro copied (downloaded) to printer memory. See download overlay files. ═══ download overlay files ═══ An overlay is a style of macro that, when active, prints on each page along with the information desired on the pages. Predefined forms and letterheads are examples of overlay macros. A valid overlay file consists of one of the following scenarios:  The file begins with a macro ID assignment command followed by the start macro definition command. The file ends with the stop macro definition command.  The file begins with the start macro definition command and ends with the stop macro definition command. Note: All commands within the overlay file must be in printer command language (PCL* emulation). ═══ extended symbol set ═══ A symbol set that includes characters that do not map to the Presentation Manager* character set. Such fonts frequently contain characters such as graphic characters, special characters, or bar codes. See also font symbol sets. ═══ flash memory card ═══ A special memory card that can be installed in the printer that provides a location for permanent storage of soft fonts and overlay macros. This memory card is unaffected by resets to the printer. ═══ font ═══ A given size and style of type. A family of characters of a given size and style; for example, 9-point Helvetica*. ═══ font card files ═══ Files needed for each font card are typically supplied on a diskette in the font card package. The files are frequently installed into a directory (such as C:\AUTOFONT) by a font installation program. When you install new font cards, you must specify the drive and directory of the following files for each card:  A GLUE.TXT file, which identifies the fonts supported by this card, and the location of the font support files.  Font Metric files, with the extension TFM, which contain the information about each font supported by this card. When the printer driver installs a font card, it creates a file with the extension FCF, which contains the information about each font selected to be supported for that card. Notes:  There are IBM* LaserPrinter Font Cards that emulate some Hewlett-Packard* LaserJet* series II font cartridges and resident Hewlett-Packard LaserJet series IID fonts. If your IBM LaserPrinter Font Card is not listed in the Font Cards window of the printer driver, then contact your Lexmark* dealer, point of purchase or your country Lexmark representative, to receive the font files necessary for the printer driver to use the font card.  If the Available Cards list is empty, you are missing the file PCL5_FCF.DLL, which comes with the printer driver. This file contains the font card metrics for some IBM LaserPrinter Font Cards. ═══ Font Converter ═══ This utility, available from Lexmark*, converts PCL* 5 Intellifont* (TYP files) and FAIS format fonts to symbol set bound PCL Encapsulated Outline (PCLEO) soft fonts. It also converts TrueType* (TTF files) to symbol set bound PCL Encapsulated TrueType Outline (PCLETTO) soft fonts. The PCLETTO fonts are supported by the printers that provide enhanced PCL 5 emulation. Follow the Font Converter instructions on installing the font files onto the hard disk. Make note of the directory where the GLUE.TXT file was stored, for example: C:\AUTOFONT. When you add new fonts for use with the printer driver, you must specify the name of the directory containing the GLUE.TXT file. ═══ font installation program ═══ Prior to adding a font card or a download font you must install the font files onto the hard disk. This may involve running the Autofont Support Installer (for example: Font Converter), copying files to a specific directory on the hard disk, or using some other utility. Follow the instructions with each font on installing the font files onto the hard disk. Make note of the directory where the files are stored, for example: C:\AUTOFONT. When you add new fonts for use with the printer driver, you must specify the name of the directory containing the font files. Related Topic  Font Converter ═══ font orientation ═══ This printer driver can create both portrait and landscape fonts from font files that are in either orientation. If you have both portrait and landscape versions of the same font, the font is listed once, but both portrait and landscape orientations are supported. ═══ metric file ═══ A file created by the printer driver to describe a download font or a font card. This file is necessary for the font to print. The metric file for a download font has the extension FMF, and the metric file for a font card has the extension FCF. ═══ output destination ═══ A tray or bin where your printed job will be placed. The printer comes with one or more standard output bins. You can purchase output options for some printer models that provide more output bins and output features, such as stapling. ═══ outline font ═══ A font that enables its characters to be shaped with more flexibility (for example, scaled to different sizes). ═══ overlay ═══ A macro style used in the printer. ═══ path ═══ A statement that indicates where a file is stored. The path consists of the drive letter and all the directories that must be opened to get to a particular file. The directory names are separated by a backslash (\). The first backslash represents the root directory. The first path in the following example shows a file that is located in the root directory of a diskette in drive A; the second path in the example shows a path to font files on drive C: A:\ C:\OS2\DLL\PCL5FONT A path is sometimes followed by a file name and its extension (if there is one). ═══ printer driver ═══ A file that provides device-independence. This file describes the physical characteristics of a printer and is used to convert graphics into device-specific data at the time of printing. ═══ Printer Toolkit ═══ This utility, supplied on the CD-ROM that came with the printer, provides a variety of printer-specific utilities, including downloading soft fonts and overlay macros to the flash memory card or the disk option. ═══ push button ═══ A rectangle with text inside. Push buttons are used in windows for actions that occur immediately when the push button is selected. ═══ queue ═══ A list of jobs waiting to be printed at a particular print destination. See also spooling. ═══ radio button ═══ A circle with text beside it. Radio buttons are combined to show you a fixed set of choices from which only one can be selected. The circle is partially filled when a choice is selected. ═══ resolution ═══ Density or sharpness of an image. For bitmap material, resolution is expressed in dots per inch, with higher quality output having more dots per inch. You can adjust resolution for some printers, although a printer's memory size might limit the resolution you can choose. Low-resolution images print faster, but appear coarser than high-resolution images. ═══ soft font ═══ Optional fonts shipped as files. The soft-font files must be copied to the hard disk before you can select them from programs. ═══ spool file ═══ A file containing output data that has been saved for later processing. ═══ spooling ═══ The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available printer or port at a print destination. Spooling jobs frees system resources from waiting for a relatively slow device to provide output, and keeps the contents of each print job separated from the contents of every other print job. ═══ symbol set ═══ A grouping of a set of characters in a specific order. ═══ system font ═══ One of the general fonts available for screen display and printing. You can specify any size for this font, and it supports any language. Contrast with device font. ═══ typefaces ═══ Identifies the unique design characteristics of the symbols of a particular font. Courier and Times Roman are examples of typefaces. ═══ 4. Procedures ═══ The following topics give step-by-step instructions for performing some printer driver tasks:  Storing Fonts and Overlays at the Printer  Adding Fonts  Removing Fonts  Creating an Overlay  Adding Overlays  Printing with an Overlay  Removing Overlays ═══ 4.1. Storing Fonts and Overlays at the Printer ═══ You can use any of the following methods to store fonts and overlays at the printer: Printer memory (temporary storage) Fonts and overlays can be downloaded (copied) to printer memory and stored there until the printer is turned off. (The amount of memory installed in your printer depends on the model you have. Memory options can be installed to increase your printer's memory.) For more information about downloading fonts and overlays to printer memory, see Download Fonts and Download Overlays. Flash memory option (permanent storage) Fonts and overlays can be downloaded and stored permanently (unless you decide to erase them) onto a flash memory card option, which is purchased separately from the printer. Either MarkVision* or the Printer Toolkit, is necessary to download fonts and overlays to the flash memory option. You can find MarkVision and the Printer Toolkit on the CD-ROM that came with the printer. For more information about downloading fonts and overlays to a flash memory option, see Flash Memory Option for fonts and Flash Memory Option for overlays. Disk option (permanent storage) Fonts and overlays can be downloaded and stored permanently (unless you decide to erase them) onto a hard disk option, which is purchased separately from the printer. Either MarkVision* or the Printer Toolkit is necessary to download fonts and overlays to the disk option. You can find MarkVision and the Printer Toolkit on the CD-ROM that came with the printer. For more information about downloading fonts and overlays to a disk option, see Disk Option for fonts and Disk Option for overlays.

Concepts ═══ The following topics explain concepts related to using the printer and the printer driver:  Job Types  Understanding Font Symbol Sets  Printer, Queue, and Program Job Properties Setup  Printer Messages  Unattended Printer Operation  Print Timeout Setting  Locating Job Properties ═══ 5.1. Job Types ═══ The effect of printer or job properties on a job depends on the job type: Graphics data jobs are created by Presentation Manager* (OS/2*) programs and typically have a graphical content. Raw data jobs are jobs sent using OS/2 operating system commands such as each of the following: PRINT SCREEN key COPY /B LPT1 PRINT Raw data jobs typically consist of printer command language (PCL*) commands. The following table lists which Printer Properties or Job Properties are honored by each type of job. Graphics Raw Properties Data Jobs Data Jobs ──────────────────────────────────────────── Resolution Yes No Orientation Yes Yes Default font Yes Yes Printer patterns Yes No Fast system fonts Yes No GL/2 Yes No XL/Enhanced Yes No 1 or 2 Sided Printing Yes Yes Form length Yes Yes Form width Yes No Form clipping Yes No Automatic mode switching Yes Yes Overlays Yes Single overlay Contone Yes No Bitmap Format Yes No IET Yes No Image Print Quality Yes No Output Control Yes Yes Layout Yes No Watermark Yes No ═══ 5.2. Understanding Font Symbol Sets ═══ A symbol set is a unique ordering of the characters in a font. Some of the symbol sets contain characters that correspond directly to the Presentation Manager* (OS/2*) character set. The abbreviations for these symbol sets, along with the symbol set names, are as follows: PM PC-850 PC PC-8 R8 Roman-8 PD PC-8 Danish/Norwegian UK ISO 4: United Kingdom US US ASCII E1 Latin 1 WN Microsoft* Windows* DT Desktop JS JIS ASCII F0 French 0 CH Chinese DN Norwegian 1 NW Norwegian 2 S5 Portuguese 5 S6 Spanish 6 GR German SP Spanish 2 S4 Portuguese 4 IT Italian G0 German 0 S1 Spanish 1 FR French 1 VM Ventura Math VI Ventura International VU Ventura US MS PS Math TS PS Text M8 Math-8 PI Pi Font PB MS Publishing S3 Swedish/Finnish SW Swedish Names LG Legal IR IRV E5 Latin 5 RX Roman Extension MC MC Text W1 Windows 3.1 L1 WE Windows 3.1 L2 WT Windows 3.1 L5 E2 Latin 2 PT PC-8 Turkish PE PC-852 PL PC-8 Polish Mazovia WR Windows Cyrillic WL Windows Baltic E6 ISO 8859-10 Latin 6 WG Windows Greek PV PC-775 Baltic P3 PC-853 Latin 3 P5 PC-857 Latin 5, Turkey CU Ukrainian P2 ABICOMP International GE PC-8 Greek Alternate (437G) BG PC-8 Bulgarian P1 ABICOMP Brazil/Portugal RG Russian-GOST PK PC-855 Cyrillic IG PC-869 Greece Other symbol sets do not map directly to the Presentation Manager character set. These symbol sets are called extended symbol sets. For example: DV Ventura Dingbats DS PS Dingbats D1 Dingbats Series 100 D2 Dingbats Series 200 D3 Dingbats Series 300 MA Math-7 L$ Wingdings Font AS Symbol Font ═══ 5.3. Printer, Queue, and Program Job Properties Setup ═══ The properties that give a print job characteristics such as resolution, orientation, duplex control, form, and font, can derive from three different sources:  If you submit a job (for example, from a DOS session) that does not have program-specific characteristics, and does not take on the job properties of its queue, the job is printed with the Default Job Properties you specified in the Printer Properties window during printer driver setup.  If you submit a job (for example, from a Presentation Manager* (OS/2*) program) that does not specify print-job characteristics, but does take on characteristics from its queue, the job is printed with the Job Properties you specified for that queue (by selecting the Job Properties push button on the Printer driver tab of the printer object's settings notebook).  If your program enables you to set up job properties for a specific print file, the job is printed with those characteristics. Program-specified job properties override defaults of either queue or Printer Properties. ═══ 5.4. Printer Messages ═══ If your laser printer issues a message indicating operational failure, check for the following:  Memory Full - Caused by a page with dense graphics or a combination of text and graphics that exceeds the printer's memory. Some laser printers allow memory compression of images in the printer. Try turning this option on from your printer's operator panel, or try adding more memory to the printer. - Caused by more fonts downloaded during the first print job than the printer memory can hold. Try reducing the number of highlighted fonts in the Download Fonts list box on the Printer Properties Download page, or try adding more memory to the printer.  Complex Page - Caused by a page with dense graphics or a combination of text and graphics that the printer cannot print. Try reducing the resolution of the print job, or try adding more memory to the printer. If your printer has Page Protect capability, you may also want to try enabling this setting.  Forms Mismatch - Load the appropriate form for the job, and then select the Printer Properties Setup page. Use the list boxes in the Form Connections group to connect the form and source required by the waiting job. ═══ 5.5. Unattended Printer Operation ═══ To maintain unattended operation of your printer, do not select an Available Forms choice for the manual paper source or the manual envelope source. If you select a form, operator intervention is required if the printer driver prompts for it. ═══ 5.6. Print Timeout Setting ═══ In some cases, single pages are printed as multiple pages or duplex pages are printed as simplex pages when the Print Timeout setting is active on the printer. Use the printer's operator panel to increase or disable the Print Timeout setting. For instructions, refer to the documentation that came with your printer. ═══ 5.7. Locating Job Properties ═══ If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the printer looks for these settings in other places. If your print jobs are not printing in the way that you expect, make sure your job properties settings are set correctly in each of the following places, in the order listed: 1. The window in which your application lets you select job properties (if your application provides a way to set job properties). 2. The Job Properties notebook displayed from the OS/2* settings notebook of your printer object. (To display the settings notebook, click mouse button2 on your printer object, and then select Settings. When the settings notebook is displayed, click the Printer driver tab, and then click the Job Properties push button.) 3. The Job Properties notebook is displayed when you click the Default Job Properties push button in the Printer Properties notebook. (To display the Printer Properties notebook, click mouse button 2 on your printer object, and then select Settings. When the settings notebook is displayed, click the Printer driver tab, and then double-click the driver highlighted in Default printer driver.) The settings you select in the Default Job Properties notebook are considered default settings because they are used only if the printer does not get job properties information first from the application and then from the OS/2 printer object. ═══ 6. Notebook Push Buttons ═══ A row of push buttons along the bottom of each notebook (Printer Properties and Job Properties) helps you control notebook settings. Whereas the push buttons you see on each notebook page affect just the settings on that page, the Notebook Push Buttons affect the settings for the entire notebook. The notebook push buttons are:  Save  Cancel  Default Job Properties (on Printer Properties notebook only)  Default All  Update (on Printer Properties notebook only) Related Topic  Page Push Buttons ═══ 6.1. Save ═══ Click the Save push button to save all changes you have made to the notebook, and then close the window containing the notebook. If you do not select this push button, any change you have made to any page of the notebook is not sent to the printer driver. Double-clicking the title bar icon in the upper left corner of the notebook also saves your changes and closes the window. If you reach Job Properties by:  Clicking the Default Job Properties push button in the Printer Properties notebook, you save changes by first selecting Save in the Job Properties notebook, and then selecting save in the Printer Properties notebook.  Clicking the Job Properties push button on the Printer driver tab of the printer object's settings notebook, you save changes by selecting Save in the Job Properties notebook.

This notebook lets you select settings that change frequently from job to job (for example, orientation and duplexing). Job properties are usually set from your application, though not all applications call these settings job properties. For example, in some applications, you display job properties by selecting a Setup or an Options choice. Notes:  If your application does not provide a way to set job properties, the printer looks for these settings in other locations. For an explanation of locations in which you can set job properties and the order in which the printer looks at each location, see Locating Job Properties.  Clicking the Default Job Properties push button does not display the same settings as those displayed when you click the Job properties push button on the OS/2* settings notebook. For an explanation of locations in which you can set job properties and the order in which the printer looks at each location, see Locating Job Properties.  If you reach Job Properties by clicking the Default Job Properties push button in the Printer Properties notebook, you save changes by first selecting Save in the Job Properties notebook, and then selecting save in the Printer Properties notebook. If you reach Job Properties by clicking the Job Properties push button on the Printer driver tab of the printer object's settings notebook, you save changes by selecting Save in the Job Properties notebook.
