Loading Orientation-fixed Paper or Two-sided Paper
Orientation-fixed (top to bottom) or two-sided paper (for example, letterhead paper, punched paper, or copied paper) might not be printed correctly, depending on how the paper is placed.

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 printing 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", Print.
