Setting up trays with different orientations

We recommend that you use the custom type settings to differentiate print media of the same size with different orientations. For example, if you want to have letter-size paper loaded into both standard trays, but one in the long-edge orientation and one in the short-edge orientation, you could set up the trays as follows:

•Tray 1: Long-edge Fed; Paper Size=Letter; Paper Type=Plain

•Tray 2: Short-edge Fed; Paper Size=Letter; Paper Type=Custom Type 1

By setting the printer menus like this, you can easily choose which orientation you want to use for a print job by selecting the appropriate tray.

Changing the Custom Type Name

You can use the printer Embedded Web Server or MarkVision to define a name other than "Custom Type [x]" for each of the custom media types that are loaded. When a custom name is defined for a Custom Type, then the printer displays this name wherever it would normally display "Custom Type [x]".
