Printing with a Layout Suitable for Making Booklets

Use the following procedure to print on both sides of sheets using a layout suitable for booklets.

The pages of your document will be reduced in size and printed side by side, two on each side of each sheet of the original paper size specified in the application. For example, an A4 document will be printed as two A5 images on each side of each A4 sheet. Similarly a Letter size document will be printed as two 5.5" x 8.5" images on each side of each Letter size sheet. The whole stack is folded in half, like a magazine.

If you use the Booklet function and the Layout function together, you will be able to reduce the printing cost.
