Supported paper weights and sizes
Letter and A4 sizes can be loaded with the long-edge or short-edge leading into the printer.
Long-edge first is the preferred orientation. Long-edge feed gives greater throughput, and
lower consumable usage. Short-edge feed is called the rotated orientation, and is identified
in the trays as LTR-R and A4-R. Short-edge feed can be useful when printing on media with
special features, such as perforations or windows.
