Booklet printing (imposition)
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).
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.
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.
