Printer driver Help

Each printer driver has Help screens that can be activated from the Help button, the F1 key, or the question mark symbol on the upper-right corner of the printer driver screen (depending on the Windows operating system used). Reach the printer driver screen by clicking Print from your software program. These Help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. The printer driver Help is separate from the software-program Help.
