Position options
The options under Position specify the page edges to be aligned and finished.
Additional position settings are available in the Custom Settings dialog box.
Available options depend on Print size, Orientation, Booklet, and Multiple
pages per sheet selections.
In the overview area at the bottom, the page image shows a colored strip to
indicate the current Binding edge selection with Staple positions, if selected.
When the Staple option is used, the Binding edge selection determines where
staples are placed. Use this image to verify your selections for Binding edge
and Staple.
Custom settings
In the Position list, you can select Custom to open the Custom Settings
dialog box.
The illustrations in the Custom Settings dialog box help you visualize the page
alignments. Select the one setting that best illustrates the edge of the mixed
pages you want to align.
The top two settings (A4/Letter) are for the smaller size paper in the mixed
page document.
The next two settings (A3/Legal/Ledger) are for the larger size paper in the
mixed page document.
Note that a change to one custom setting adjusts other selections to make them
compatible with the change.

If the printer driver determines that the specified paper size or direction (short or

requests that you load the correct paper size into the cassette with the correct
orientation.
