HP 2420 - Manual (Page 150)

Copies
Use the Copies option to specify the number of copies to print.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies group box. You can select the number
by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are
numbers from 1 to 9999 for the HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printer. 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 that you want from some software programs, conflicts
between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software
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.
Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the manner in which
media is fed into the product. You can specify the orientation of the print job. The three available
orientations are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait.
NOTE Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the
page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an
orientation.
The Orientation group box contains three options:
■ Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media.
■ Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media.
■ Rotate by 180 degrees. This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is
rotated 180 degrees. This setting is useful for printing prepunched media.
You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image.
If you select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box, no change occurs in the document preview
image.
Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of all of the Document Defaults driver
tabs except Job Storage. For more information about the document preview image, see
Finishing
tab features .
