BOOKLET PRINTING
Automatic production of booklets is an important Crown II feature. It allows you to print
your document in a book format. This is of special interest to writers, allowing them to
examine the final document immediately.
A booklet is printed as four logical pages onto both sides of one physical sheet. All printed
sheets are then folded into what looks like a book. On the folding edge, you may manually
insert staples to bind the booklet.
For booklet printing, a sheet is defined as being the media size you print on. A page is
defined as the media format set in 'page setup' of your document.
Example: Your document is created using A3/Ledger format. You want to print a booklet
using A3/Ledger sheets. This means that your booklet will be printed in A4/Letter size (see
illustration above). A Crown II printer automatically scales and rotates your A3/Ledger pages
into A4/Letter size on the A3/Ledger sheet. Similarly, you may also print on other sizes from
the very same document. A Crown II printer automatically scales and rotates the pages.
A booklet must always print in multiples of 4 pages. The Crown II Print System
automatically prints all logical pages in the correct order and automatically prints empty
pages at the end of your document when necessary.
The following illustration shows the fold directions
available. The selection depends on the media size
of your document and on the media size you are
going to print on. Long Edge is by definition the
default.
The maximum number of pages to be printed as a booklet depends predominantly upon
the memory assigned to the Display List and the complexity of the document.
Crown II printers equipped with an internal hard disk have the advantage of assigning
hard disk space to the Display List memory client. This greatly enhances the number of
pages that can be printed as a booklet.
If a booklet fails to print, try increasing the Display List size. The entire job needs to be
stored in the Display List for booklet layout to work.
