Controlling Your Print Job
Control your print jobs from the printer or your computer. Changes to
the printer setup made from the printer control panel become default
settings for all print jobs. Changes to the printer setup made through
the printer driver on the computer will override settings in the printer
control panel and affect only the print jobs initiated from that
computer. Changes made from an application will remain in effect for
the current print job or until changed, depending on the application.
Most changes made to the printer should be made from the computer
so that the changes do not affect other users' print jobs.
Changing Page Orientation
The following figure shows different page orientations:
Figure 7
A Portrait
B Landscape
Control the page orientation from your application, the printer driver,
or the printer control panel (PCL print jobs only):
z To print across the width (short edge) of the media, select portrait
page orientation from your application or the printer driver.
z To print across the length (long edge) of the media, select
landscape page orientation from your application or the printer
driver.
For more information on changing the page orientation, see the online
help for your application or the printer driver.
