Printing on special media

Special media includes letterhead, prepunched (including 3-hole punched), envelopes, labels, transparencies, full-bleed images, rotated paper, index cards, postcards, custom-size, and heavy paper.

Printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper (single- sided)

When printing letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, it is important to orient the paper correctly. Follow the guidelines in this section for printing on one side only. For duplexing guidelines, see Printing on both sides (duplexing).

NOTE It might be necessary to print prepunched paper in a rotated orientation (see Printing on rotated media). Printing in portrait or landscape mode is usually selected from the software program or printer driver. If the option is not available, change the ORIENTATION setting on the printer control panel.
