Loading Preprinted Paper

When you load paper that has been preprinted with a logo, pay attention to the orientation of the paper regardless of whether you use the paper drawer or the multi-purpose tray. Load the paper properly so that printing is performed on the same side as the logo.

Regarding the <Switch Paper Feed Method> Setting
When you print on preprinted paper, you need to change the facing of the paper to load each time you perform one-sided and two-sided printing. However, if <Switch Paper Feed Method> is set to <Print Side Priority> in the Settings/Register menu of the control panel, the facing that you use for loading preprinted paper for two-sided printing (logo side face down) can also be used for one-sided printing. This is convenient when frequently switching between one-sided printing and two-sided printing. <Switch Paper Feed Method>
