Booklet Printing; Paper Source Tab - NEC 870 - SuperScript B/W Laser Printer Online User's Manual

Chapter 3: Installing the Software
for your paper source when printing 2-
Sided.
This dialog box lets you choose between two
binding options for your 2-Sided print jobs:
• Choose 2-Sided Book (for binding on the long
edge) if your document will be read like a
book. This option is the default. The text on
the second side is oriented in the same
direction as the text on the first side.
• Choose 2-Sided Tablet (for binding on the
short edge) if the reader of your document
will be turning its pages vertically like a tablet
or pad of paper. If you choose this option, the
text on the second side of the page will be
upside down in relation to the first side.
• For best results use a heavier paper stock, such
as 24 pound, especially when using the Main
output tray.
• The heat of the printer may cause a slight curl
to the paper as it passes through the printer
the first time. This may result in a slight
wrinkling of the paper when it is printed on
46
the second side. If this happens, roll the paper
in the reverse direction of the curl before you
reinsert the paper into the printer to print the
second side.
Note: During 2-Sided printing, the
SuperScript 870 Windows Printer Driver
stores the whole print job on your hard
disk. The amount of disk space required
depends on the size of the print job and
the amount of graphic data it includes. For
pages containing graphics, you may need
several megabytes of hard disk space for
each page of the print job.

Booklet Printing

Booklet printing lets you produce booklets in
book or tablet form. Booklets have two reduced-
sized pages on each side of the sheet. You fold
these sheets to complete the booklet. When you
use booklet printing, the SuperScript 870
Windows Printer Driver prints the pages in the
correct order so that all you need to do is fold the
printed pages in half.
The SuperScript 870 Windows Printer Driver will
print the first side of the booklet pages, then
pause for you to reinsert the pages into the
printer. Optionally, the driver will print an
instruction sheet and/or provide on-screen
