Font orientation when using short±edge paper feed

Normally, stock feeds into the printer moving in the direction of the page length. You assign each job a font with a landscape orientation (characters align along the long edge of the page) or a font with a portrait orientation (characters align along the short edge of the page).

Some printers, such as the Xerox 4135 LPS, support paper sizes up to 14.33 by 17 inches by allowing the stock to feed into the printer moving in the direction of the page width. This is the short edge feed (SEF) option. This reversal of the feed edge reverses the font orientation the job must use. When printing a landscape document using the SEF option, specify portrait fonts. When printing a portrait document using the SEF option, specify landscape fonts.
