Setting the Speed or Print Side Priority

Return to Overview

You can specify whether to match the sides of the paper to be printed for 2-sided printing and 1-sided printing. As the side of the paper to be printed changes depending on this setting, read "In the Paper Drawer" and "In the Stack Bypass Tray" thoroughly before using preprinted paper so it is loaded in the proper side and orientation.

The default setting is <Speed Priority>.

  • When you select <Speed Priority>:

With this mode, the machine prints on the different side of the paper depending on the printing mode (2-sided or 1-sided printing). To print images on the proper side of preprinted paper, you need to change the side of loaded paper for 2-sided printing and for 1-sided printing each time you switch the printing mode.

Select <Speed Priority> in the following cases.

  • When not using preprinted paper
  • When performing only 1-sided printing on preprinted paper
  • When you select <Print Side Priority>:

With this mode, the machine prints on the same side regardless of the printing mode (2-sided or 1-sided printing). Even when using preprinted paper, you do not need to switch the side of loaded paper for 2-sided printing and 1-sided printing.

Select <Print Side Priority> in the following case.

  • When you want to perform 2-sided printing and 1-sided printing on preprinted paper without changing the side of loaded paper
