1. Long-edge landscape*

This layout is often used in accounting, data processing, and
spreadsheet programs. Every other printed image is oriented
upside-down. Facing pages are read continuously from top to
bottom.

2. Short-edge landscape

Each printed image is oriented right-side-up. Facing pages are
read from top to bottom on the left page, then from top to bottom
on the right page.

3. Long-edge portrait

This is the default printer setting, and the most common layout
used, with every printed image oriented right-side-up. Facing
pages are read from top to bottom on the left page, then from top
to bottom on the right page.

4. Short-edge portrait*

This layout is often used with clipboards. Every other printed
image is oriented upside-down. Facing pages are read
continuously from top to bottom.

* When using Windows drivers, select Flip Pages Up to get the designated binding options.

1. Insert enough paper into one of the trays to accommodate the print job. If you are

loading special paper such as letterhead, load it in one of the following ways:

For tray 1, load the letterhead paper with the front side down, bottom-edge first.

For all other trays, load the letterhead paper with front side up, and the top edge
toward the back of the tray.

CAUTION

Do not load paper that is heavier than 105 g/m

(28 lb bond). Jamming could result.

2. Open the printer driver (see

Changing the settings for a print job

).

3. On the Finishing tab, click Print on Both Sides. For Macintosh, click File, click Print,

and then click Layout.
