HP 3500 - Manual (Page 73)

Priority for print settings
Changes made to print settings are prioritized (or take precedence) depending on where the
changes are made:
Note The names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software
application.
● 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
override settings changed anywhere else.
● 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
Setup dialog box.
● Printer Properties dialog box (printer driver). The printer driver opens when you click
Properties in the Print dialog box. Settings changed in the Printer Properties dialog
box do not override settings available anywhere else in the printing software.
● Default printer driver settings. The default printer driver settings determine settings used
in all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer
Properties dialog boxes, as described above.
● Printer control panel settings. Settings changed here have a lower priority than changes
made anywhere else.
