Matching the Print Side for 1-Sided and 2-Sided Printing

You can print on paper with printed logos while taking into account the print side (front/back) by using [Print Side Priority]. This mode enables you to print the first page of your original on the front side for both 1-sided and 2-sided prints without changing the orientation of the paper.

Printing Example
