3. Printing
NOTES: • The banner page is designed to fit Statement / A5 and bigger paper. If the paper selected is smaller, the banner page may wrap onto two (2) pages.
•The default is that the banner page is printed before the job so that it is in the correct stacking order.
•When the language is set to “raw” the banner is always disabled.
•The paper source and the media type for the banner page can be set to different values than the job’s paper source and media type. If a banner paper source is not specified then the auto source command is sent. If a banner media type is not spec- ified then no banner media type command is sent, so the printer’s default value will be used.
•If the file being printed specifies the paper destination or the paper size internally the banner page may print to the wrong output or on an incorrect paper size.
