Printing on Orientation-Fixed or Two-Sided Paper

This section explains how to print on paper whose orientation and printing side are unchangeable (letterhead paper, for example).

When loading paper with a fixed orientation, such as letterhead or letter paper, misprints may occur.

To make sure documents are printed correctly, press the [Menu] key using control panel, and in the [Print Settings] menu, select [Machine Modes], [Letterhead Setting] and [On (Always)] . Select [Letterhead] as the paper type in the printer driver's settings when you have selected [Auto Detect] or [Off] in the [Print Settings] menu.

For the letterhead print settings, see "Types of Paper and Other Media".

If you perform collated printing from a tray that is set for 2-sided printing, all printed after the first print will be output face-up instead of face-down, or vice versa. To ensure all paper is output facing the same direction, print from a tray that is not available for 2-sided printing.
