IM C2500 silly question?

Very good question, I've battled Ricoh over this for years. I have done all of the above in various combinations until I get one to work for specific customer. This is all due to the stapling of the paper. You would think Ricoh would be smart enough to do the programming in the firmware to match desired output for letterhead, nope. I have several customers who have notes on front of paper tray saying header to front when stapling.

The trouble with letterhead is the staple needs to be in upper left, yet the physical stapler position is on right of paper. So physically if you are to staple, the letterhead needs to be in tray with header to the front to get the staple in the upper left in this model.

The correct setting is in Copier/Document Server Features, turn on Letterhead Mode.

The correct setting is in Copier/Document Server Features, turn on Letterhead Mode.

Thanks wasnt aware of this setting.

So does this setting rotate the copy only in the tray with letterhead loaded?
