Cover Sheet

Using this function, you can insert cover sheet fed from a different tray to that of the main paper, and print on them.

If the PCL 6 printer driver is used, Cover Sheet can be specified in the [Cover/Slip/Designate] menu on the [Detailed Settings] tab. If the PCL 5e printer driver is used, it can be specified in the [Paper] tab. For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.

The cover sheet should be the same size and orientation as the body paper. When loading the cover sheet in the tray, set the relevant paper size.
