OOKLET PRINTING
Booklet printing in the Windows drivers printing allows printing of
multi-page documents with their pages ordered and arranged so
that final printed output can be folded into a booklet. Typically,
A4/Legal pages would be reduced to A5/Letter and printed side
by side on both sides of A4/Letter paper, so that the paper can
be folded into a booklet.
Since this feature prints on both sides of the page, it requires a
duplex unit to be installed in the MFP, and at least 256MB of
additional memory (512MB in total).
NOTES
1. To find out how much memory currently installed, print
out a menu map from the control panel.
2. A few applications do not support booklet printing, but
most do.
When using the PostScript driver, if you plan to print a long
document, more than about 16 pages, consider printing it in
sections of 8 or 16 at a time. This is called the "signature," and
will avoid having too thick a stack of paper to fold to make your
booklet. Your document will then be printed in a series of
booklets which can be stacked one above the other. This is
usually a neater arrangement.
The above considerations do not matter when using the PCL
driver as the signature can be set within the driver, and a long
document can be printed directly as a series of booklets.
Note that the number of pages in a booklet is always a multiple
of four, since two pages are printed on each side of each sheet of
paper. If your document is not a multiple of four pages long, the
last one, two or three pages in your folded booklet will be blank.
