Setting up trays with different orientations
We recommend that you use the custom type settings to differentiate print media of the same size with different
orientations. For example, if you want to have letter-size paper loaded into both standard trays, but one in the long-edge
orientation and one in the short-edge orientation, you could set up the trays as follows:
• Tray 1: Long-edge Fed; Paper Size=Letter; Paper Type=Plain
• Tray 2: Short-edge Fed; Paper Size=Letter; Paper Type=Custom Type 1
By setting the MFP menus like this, you can easily choose which orientation you want to use for a print job by selecting the
appropriate tray.
Changing the Custom Type Name
You can use the MFP Embedded Web Server or MarkVision™ to define a name other than "Custom Type [x]" for each of
the custom media types that are loaded. When a custom name is defined for a Custom Type, then the MFP displays this
name wherever it would normally display "Custom Type [x]".
To define a custom name using the Embedded Web Server:
1
Open the MFP Embedded Web Server by typing its IP address in the address bar of a browser. For example:
http://192.168.0.11
