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]".
