Orienting media
Orient media sizes and types according to the tray from which the media will be printed
and according to whether the media will be duplexed (printed on both sides). Knowing
whether the media will be duplexed is especially important when printing on letterhead,
single-side glossy, or preprinted media.
The following table shows the orientation of media. Note the special consideration given to
prepunched paper (see page 170).
Note Media orientation works in conjunction with media type. Make sure to set the correct type
for the media you are using. For more information, see “Supported types of media” on
page 172.
