Setting the Speed or Print Side Priority

Return to Overview

You can set whether the printer speed is the priority for your job, or whether to print on a specific side of the paper. This is useful when you want to make one or two-sided prints on preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it) without changing the orientation of the paper loaded in a paper source.
The default setting is <Speed Priority>.


Remark
  • When using preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it) whose orientation is important, it is recommended that you set <Print Side Priority> for the paper source which is loaded with that paper.
  1. Press (Main Menu).
  1. Press the right Any key to select <Additional Func.>.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Common Settings>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Paper Feed Method Switch>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select the paper source you want to set the paper feed method switch, then press [OK].
  • <Drawer 2> is displayed only when the optional Paper Drawer (Paper Drawer 2) is attached.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Speed Priority> or <Print Side Priority>, then press [OK].
  • <Speed Priority>: When you feed one or two-sided prints into the machine, the method for delivering paper inside the machine changes, and this affects the printing speed. Therefore, to maximize the printing speed, load the paper manually as follows:
    One-Sided Prints:
    Load the paper face up in a paper drawer, or face down into the stack bypass. The side facing up in the paper drawer, and the side facing down in the stack bypass are the sides printed on.
    Two-Sided Prints:
    Load the paper face down in a paper drawer, or face up in the stack bypass. The side facing down in the paper drawer, and the side facing up in the stack bypass are the first sides that are printed on.
  • <Print Side Priority>: If you load paper in a paper drawer and select <Print Side Priority>, no matter whether you are printing one or two-sided prints, the side of the paper facing up is always the one printed on first. (The side facing down is the one printed on first for the stack bypas.) However, some speed will be sacrificed when printing one-sided prints.
  • If <Print Side Priority> is selected for a paper source, and <Auto Drawer Selection> in <Common Settings> is set to <On>, the Automatic Paper Selection and Automatic Drawer Switching settings are ignored. Also, the machine's printing speed may become slower when you print one-sided documents.
