Handling Paper

Page Orientation

Figure 3-4 illustrates the two orientations and shows the relationship between the loaded paper and the resulting printout. This relationship is important if you want to print on letterhead. In portrait orientation, place the letterhead toward you and face down in the paper tray. In landscape orientation, place the letterhead against the right frame of the tray and face down.

Figure 3–4 Portrait and landscape orientation

When using the manual feed slot, place the paper with its letterhead facing up. In portrait orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead away from you. In landscape orientation, insert the paper with its letterhead on the right hand side.

Some software programs allow you to print both portrait and landscape information on a single page. The function that allows you to do this is usually called something like “text rotation.” Consult your software documentation for information.
