What's this? Help

"What's this?" Help is supported in Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft
Windows Server 2003. You can gain access to "What's this?" Help messages in 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 Transparency, a message appears asking you to resolve this conflict.
