Note

  • To print on letterhead paper when [Letterhead Setting] is set to [Auto Detect], you must specify [Letterhead] for the paper type in the printer driver's settings.

  • If a print job is changed partway through printing from one-sided to two-sided printing, one-sided output after the first copy may be printed facing a different direction. To ensure all paper is output facing the same direction, specify different input trays for one-sided and two-sided printing. Note also that two-sided printing must be disabled for the tray specified for one-sided printing.

  • For details about how to make two-sided prints, see Printing on Both Sides of a Page.
