Orientation of paper for duplexing
Several kinds of paper (such as letterhead, preprinted paper, prepunched paper, and paper
with watermarks) require a specific orientation for duplex printing. The duplexer prints the
second side of paper first. The proper orientation of the paper in the trays is shown below.
1 Tray 1
2 All other trays
For tray 1, load the front side facing down and the top edge toward you. For all other trays,
load the front side facing up and the top edge toward the MFP.
Layout options for printing on both sides of paper
The four duplex orientation options are shown below. These options can be selected in the
printer driver (the preferred method) or at the MFP control panel. If you use the MFP control
panel, touch CONFIGURE DEVICE, then touch PRINTING. Touch DUPLEX BINDING. On
the PCLPCL SUBMENU, select a setting for ORIENTATION.

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 MFP 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.
