To Load a Sheet

You can load a sheet in either portrait or landscape orientation. Unless using
the

Rotate

option (see page 4-8), load the sheet in the same orientation as you

have specified in your software. If printing a PostScript file, always load the
sheet with the short edge first, even if your drawing is landscape.

Portrait

(short edge first)

– always use for

PostScript files

Landscape
(long edge first)

Which way up?

As you load the sheet, it is the under side on which the printer will print. With
most media types, the two sides are different and so it is important to load the sheet
correctly. Refer to the table below.

Media Type

Media-Loading Tips

Coated paper

Heavy coated paper

Load with the coated side down.

On HP Coated Paper and Heavyweight Coated
Paper, look for the small notch in the corner:

When loading in a portrait orientation, make
sure the notch is on the right side of the leading
edge.

When loading in a landscape orientation, make
sure the notch is on the left side of the leading
edge.

Matte film

Load with the matte side down.

Clear film

Load with the rougher side down.

High-gloss photo paper

Semi-gloss photo paper

High-gloss film

Load with the glossy side down.

Opaque bond

Translucent bond

Natural tracing paper

Vellum

Both sides are the same. If the sheet is curled,
load with the curl

up.
