	● Page Setup dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Page Setup or a similar
	command on the File menu of the program you are working in. Settings changed here

	● Print dialog box. This dialog box opens when you click Print, Print Setup, or a similar
	command on the File menu of the program you are working in. Settings changed in the
	Print dialog box have a lower priority and do not override changes made in the Page

	box do not override settings available anywhere else in the printing software.

	Properties dialog boxes, as described above.
	● Printer control panel settings. Settings changed here have a lower priority than changes
