Printing on special media
Special media includes letterhead, prepunched (including 3-hole punched), envelopes, labels,
transparencies, full-bleed images, rotated paper, index cards, postcards, custom-size, and heavy paper.
Printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper (single-sided)
When printing letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, it is important to orient the paper correctly.
Follow the guidelines in this section for printing on one side only. For duplexing guidelines, see
on both sides (duplexing) on page 69
NOTE:
It might be necessary to print prepunched paper in a rotated orientation (see
). Printing in portrait or landscape mode is usually selected from the software
program or printer driver. If the option is not available, change the ORIENTATION setting on the printer
control panel.
