Note

  • Be sure to check the position of the index tab beforehand, so that images to be printed do not come out slanted. If there are any letters in a position where the index tab is not present, toner may dirty the back of the paper.

  • If the position of the index tab conflicts with that of staples or punch holes, the position of the index tab will be prioritized.

  • For details about the sizes of tab stocks that can be printed, see "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types", Preparation.

  • Specify the position of the index tab in [Tray Paper Settings] using the control panel. To change the print position on the index tab, select [Machine Setting(s)] in [Tray Setting Priority] on the [System] tab for the corresponding tray under [Printer Features] using the control panel.

  • When you enable this function, the [Extended Auto Tray Switching] function will be disabled. For details about [Extended Auto Tray Switching], see "System", Preparation.

  • If you are printing on a registered custom paper, make the correct paper settings for the custom paper on the printer driver. For details about custom paper, see "Registering a Custom Paper", Preparation.
