Printing Rotated Paper

The printer can print letter, A4, A5, Executive, and B5 (JIS) in a
rotated orientation (short-edge first) from Tray 1. Rotated paper
prints more slowly than paper that feeds long-edge first. Some types
of paper feed better if rotated, such as prepunched paper or labels
that do not stack flat.

Tray 1:

1 From the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel,

select

TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE

.

2 Also from the Paper Handling Menu, select

LTR-R

,

A4-R

,

A5-R

,

EXEC-R

, or

JB5-R

as the Tray 1 size.

3 Load paper with the side-to-be printed facing up, and the top,

short-edge toward the printer.

4 In the printer driver or software application select the paper size

as you normally would and select Tray 1.
