l
Name column: This column contains the names of the Printer Options, as taken from the
PPD file.
l
Option column: This column shows the selected Printer Option preference.
l
Order column: This column displays any Dependency Order criteria that applies to the
selected Printer Option.
The choices available to the Printer Options are as follows:
l Add: This launches the Add Printer Options Dialog which allows you to add one or
more Printer Options. That dialog will be populated with options that relate to the Rule
that was selected, when the Add Printer Options button pressed.
l
Edit:This allows you to edit an existing Rule Printer Option. It launches the Add Printer
Options Dialog.
l
/ Move Up / Down: Move the selected Printer Option(s) up or down within the table.
This allows sorting of options for easier legibility, but manually moving options up and
down is done without any check on Order Dependency.
l
Delete:Delete the selected Printer Option(s).
l
Sort by Order dependency: This sorts the Printer Options by the order of their
dependencies.
Not all Printer Options have dependencies, but for those that do, the order is important.
For example, consider these following PPD file Printer Option extracts:
l
PageRegion:
*OpenUI *PageRegion: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 50 AnySetup *PageRegion
...
*CloseUI: *PageRegion
l
InputSlot:
*OpenUI *InputSlot: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 20 AnySetup *InputSlot
...
*CloseUI: *InputSlot
We can see that one has an Order Dependency of 50 and the other 20.
If PageRegion was selected prior to InputSlot in the Add Printer Options Dialog, then they
would appear like this in the Print Wizard:
