Sided printing is automatically turned on. The
2-sided dialog box accessed from the setup tab
provides additional options. Select Print
instruction sheet (recommended) and/or
Display help messages. These settings are
turned on by default. NEC strongly

6. In the Windows program you want to print
your booklet from, prepare the booklet
document. Set margins and fonts as you want
these to appear in the booklet.
Remember that each booklet page will be one-
half as large as the sheet it is printed on and
you may not want the same size margins as
when you print on a full sheet. For example, if
you select booklet on letter, your page size will
48
be 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". You may want to select 1/
4" margins to allow space for the text of your
document.
If you are printing an existing document as a
booklet, your document will be automatically
reformatted when you select the booklet paper
size within the application. You may need to
adjust the margins and check the formatting
for this new booklet size.
7. Important: In your Windows program, select
the Booklet paper size you want to use. (You
must complete this step in order for your
document to print as a booklet.)
Windows programs have different ways to
select a paper size. Frequently, the paper size
is changed on a Print Setup or Page Setup
dialog box invoked from the File menu. You
may need to consult your program's manual
or help system to learn how to select a paper
size.
When you select a Booklet paper size in your
program, you will notice that the document is
automatically reformatted to reflect the new
size. (However, you may need to make
adjustments to the size of your text and
margins.)
Note: In some programs such as
Microsoft PowerPoint , you cannot set
paper size to Booklet in the file or page
