Use Booklet Printing (Windows)

Booklet Printing is a type of layout printing in which four pages of an original document are printed on either side of a single page. The print order is set automatically. This is very useful for creating booklets. The printed pages are simply folded in half and stapled together at the center to create a booklet.

Note: The Booklet Printing function is not available when any of the following functions or options is selected:

• Borderless Printing
  

• See Printing with Borderless Printing
  

• Print media other than Plain Paper is selected for Media Type.
  

• Background Printing is disabled (In Windows Me or Windows 98)
  
  It is easy to confirm whether background printing is in progress. Open the printer driver's Properties dialog box, select Page Setup and click Printer Control.

Photographs are unsuitable for Booklet Printing, as the image is usually visible on the other side. Moreover the paper may absorb too much ink and become wavy. This may cause the printed surface to become scratched.
