last valid value when focus is removed from the control. The default number of copies is
one.
Since 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 the application will appear in the
driver and vice-versa. 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) printed.
Orientation
You can specify the orientation of the printed output. The three available orientations are
Portrait, Landscape, and Rotated. Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the
page, and does not affect the manner in which media are fed into the printer. The default
orientation is Portrait.
The three orientation options are 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 pre-punched paper.
Orientation can toggle between Portrait and Landscape by left-clicking the preview
image. If you check Rotation, there is no change in the preview image.
