Printing on Fixed-Orientation 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.

The following table shows the printout result according to the combination of paper feed direction and letterhead settings in the control panel and PCL printer driver.
