When printing a Landscape/Portrait mixed job, to print an image in a different orientation from the previous page, the image needs to be rotated.
The angle of rotation is fixed at either 90 degrees or 270 degrees according to the rules established by the setting of bit switch 5-6.
Depending on the PDL, there are various conditions related to determining the angle of rotation.
In summary, the angle is determined depending on:
- The image orientation of the previous page.
- The binding orientation of the printed data.
The following table shows the conditions for different angles of rotation for each PDL.
Bit switch 5-6 = 1 (Default)
| PS3 | |
|---|---|
| The previous page is Landscape | 270° |
| The previous page is Portrait | 90° |
| PCL | |
|---|---|
| Long Edge Binding | 90° |
| Short Edge Binding | 270° |
Bit switch 5-6 = 0 (New)
| PS3 (If Orientation auto detection is enabled) | |
|---|---|
Long Edge Binding and the previous page is Landscape | 90° |
Long Edge Binding and the previous page is Portrait | 270° |
| Short Edge Binding and the previous page is Landscape | 270° |
| Short Edge Binding and the previous page is Portrait | 90° |
| PCL | |
|---|---|
The previous page is Landscape | 90° |
The previous page is Portrait | 270° |
