HP DesignJet T1200 - Single sheet print

[Allegra]

With my HP DesignJet T1200, usually, I use a large format paper roll. Sometimes I would like to use the single sheet function but every time this function makes me crazy and it does not print properly.

Firstly the loading process is slow and most of the time does not work. A lot of times it is necessary to repeat the loading process. 

Anyway, the big problem is about the print itself.

Usually, I load an A4 sheet, in vertical like the sheet is in the printer, portrait orientation. When the sheet is ready in the printer I print an A4 document or picture setting a portrait orientation.

All the times the vertical/portrait page is rotated and printed in horizontal/landscape, so it is cut.

If in the Windows driver dialog for the same page I set landscape/horizontal print (because maybe the vertical/portrait on the pc corresponds to a landscape/horizontal in the printer) the page is always rotated in landscape/horizontal and cut.

I also wanted to use the function "automatic rotation" but when a single sheet is selected the function "automatic rotation" is not available. 

Since I don't print often on a single sheet every time I have to renounce! I really tried all the possible settings.

I would like also to point that the picture/symbol that represents the orientation of the sheet on the Windows driver dialog is "ambiguous". It is not definitively a rectangle, it looks almost like a square. So it is very difficult to understand if the orientation is portrait or landscape. Why the rectangle is not "more rectangular"???
