Settings for the User Tools

Specify [Auto Detect] or [On (Always)] for [Letterhead Setting] in [System] under the Printer Features menu, and then place the paper as shown below.

For details about the letterhead settings, see System.

Note

  • To print on letterhead paper when [Auto Detect] is specified for [Letterhead Setting], you must specify [Letterhead] as 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 print 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 Sheets.
