The printer prints faster on letter-size paper loaded in landscape orientation than it does when actually printing in landscape mode.

When you load paper in landscape orientation, you can use reduction mode to fit even more text on next page. (See Chapter 4, Using the Operator Panel, for details on using reduction mode.)
