Simple Problem How do I change the setting from portrait to landscape?

most printers do not have an automatic preference but a requirement to set it prior to printing
at the print stage go to properties , select the landscape or portrait button and apply
that makes it a default setting for all future printing

select manually on the panel.

Hello Donna,

To change the orientation of the printer from landscape to portrait follow these simple steps;

- open any document and go to print from the file menu
- when the printers settings window opens click 'properties'
- In the next up coming windows you can see menus like 'main, page setup, effects' profiles
maintenance etc.
- click 'page setup'
- There you can see 'page size' and 'orientation'
- change the 'orientation' from landscape to portrait
- click ok and print
Done : )


please rate if this solution was helpful for you, thanks you!

Try selecting LANDSCAPE as opposed to PORTRAIT by using the proper print menu in your application rather than the simple print icon from most tool-bars.

You can usually find it in the FILE menus

re-install printer driver and install again.

There should be an option either in the monitors drivers or in Windows Control Panel that sets it to portrait mode. I hope this helps, Yannick.

Hello sir;At least you have to set up one paper tray to portrait direction, then when you make copy, use auto select tray. check user guide how to program it.
