PRINTING SPECIFIC PAGES ON DIFFERENT PAPER

Overview

In a Windows environment
The front and back covers and specified pages of a document are printed on paper that is different from that used for other pages.
Use this function when you wish to print the front and back covers on heavy paper, or insert colored paper or a different paper type at specified pages.
As necessary, paper can be inserted as insertion sheets where nothing is printed.

In a Macintosh environment
The front and back covers are printed using paper that is different from that used for other pages. This function can be used, for example, when you want to print only the front and back covers on thick paper.
