The Setup Analyzer allows the printer driver to evaluate your choice of printing settings. On the Setting tab, you click on the green ✔ to enable the Setup Analyzer. Click on the red symbol to disable it.

The inconsistencies appear with check boxes. You can use the dialog box buttons to select or deselect the inconsistencies and/or fix or ignore the inconsistencies.
