# Selecting the Print Side

Specify whether to print only on the front side of paper for 1-sided printing so that the odd pages are always printed on the front side for both 1-sided and 2-sided printing.
The print side for 1-sided printing varies depending on the setting specified. To use preprinted paper, read "Paper Loading Orientation" carefully to place the paper stack in the correct orientation.

IMPORTANT
###### Paper Size and Paper Type: If you select unsupported paper size or paper type for 2-sided printing, the settings applied in this section will be invalid.

###### When <Print Speed Priority> is selected (the default setting):

All pages (odd and even) are printed on the back side for 1-sided printing while the odd pages are printed on the first side for 2-sided printing, as shown below.

|  | Make sure to place the stack correctly to use preprinted paper, as the side to be placed face up varies between 1-sided and 2-sided printing.

using paper types other than preprinted paper
using preprinted paper only for 1-sided printing

###### When <Print Side Priority> is selected:

All pages are printed on the first side for 1-sided printing so the odd pages are always printed on the first side for both 1-sided and 2-sided printing, as shown below.

|  | The side to be placed face up is the same between 1-sided and 2-sided printing, even when using preprinted paper.
