How Does Rotate Interact with Your Software?

For PostScript files

■

On sheet media, the front-panel

Rotate setting has no effect.

■

On roll media, use the front-panel

Rotate setting to save media, by printing

narrow pages in landscape orientation, that is, with the short edge parallel to the

media path. As an example, when rotated by 90

or 270

°,

the page size is

enlarged by 2 x (27–15) = 24 mm, i.e.,

[leading and trailing edges] - [side margins] = 24 mm

This prevents the larger margins resulting from the rotation from encroaching on

the image.

■

The rotate setting in your printer driver overrides the rotate setting in the front

panel.
