Figure 35: The default appearance of the Layout tab Orientation Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page. It does not affect in any way the manner in which the media is fed into the printer. The default orientation is Portrait. Note Nearly all programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few programs that do not set an orientation. Print on Both Sides The Print on Both Sides control represents duplex printing and is visible only when the Device Settings tab indicates that a duplexing unit is installed. The control allows the user to select between printing one or both sides of the paper. Click None to print on one side of the paper only. Click Flip on Short Edge or Flip on Long Edge to print on both sides of the paper. Short Edge prints portrait pages that are read by turning pages over like a notepad. Long Side prints portrait pages that are read by turning pages as in a book. The default setting is None (that is, not duplexing). When the Print on Both Sides setting on the Layout tab is activated (by selecting either Flip on Long Edge or Flip on Short Edge), the document preview image in the Finishing tab changes to show a spiral binding along either the left or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing will occur on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together. Note The duplexing unit generally has constraints on the paper size (small or oversize) and media (heavy stock, labels) that may be duplexed. Check the printer control panel for specific restrictions. Software Technical Reference Driver features 91

Figure 35: The default appearance of the Layout tab
Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page. It does not affect in any way the manner in which the media
is fed into the printer. The default orientation is Portrait.
Note
Nearly all programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver
is useful only for the few programs that do not set an orientation.
Print on Both Sides
The Print on Both Sides control represents duplex printing and is visible only when the Device Settings tab indicates
that a duplexing unit is installed. The control allows the user to select between printing one or both sides of the paper.
Click None to print on one side of the paper only. Click Flip on Short Edge or Flip on Long Edge to print on both sides
of the paper. Short Edge prints portrait pages that are read by turning pages over like a notepad. Long Side prints
portrait pages that are read by turning pages as in a book. The default setting is None (that is, not duplexing).
When the Print on Both Sides setting on the Layout tab is activated (by selecting either Flip on Long Edge or Flip on
Short Edge), the document preview image in the Finishing tab changes to show a spiral binding along either the left or
the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image,
indicating that printing will occur on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the
pages would be flipped if they were bound together.
Note
The duplexing unit generally has constraints on the paper size (small or oversize) and media (heavy
stock, labels) that may be duplexed. Check the printer control panel for specific restrictions.
