How to specify the orientation and page opening orientation settings

To transmit the original so that its front and back sides can be printed in the same orientation, configure the [Original Orientation] and [Page Opening Orientation] settings according to the orientation of the original to be placed.

Unless the [Original Orientation] and [Page Opening Orientation] settings are configured properly, the orientation of the front and back sides of the original may be in reverse when printed at the destination.
