Paper Source Choose the source of paper for HP-GL/2 printing.
Margin Specify the margin around paper. The margin for the trail-
ing edge of sheets is 23 mm (0.9 in).
However, if you have specified the leading margin in Pa-
per Details, the larger of the setting values has priority.
Conserve Paper Conserves paper when printing.
Auto Rotate If the long side of an original is shorter than the roll width,
the original is automatically rotated 90 degrees to con-
serve paper. Similarly, if the long side of an original in
landscape orientation is longer than the roll width and the
short side is shorter than the roll width, the original is re-
positioned to fit on the paper.
HP RTL print jobs are not rotated. Because HP RTL im-
ages are not rotated even if the paper is rotated 90 de-
grees, images may be cut off or the blank paper may be
ejected. In this case, set Auto Rotate to Off.
