Printing several pages on one sheet
The N-up feature allows you to print several pages of a document on one sheet of paper. This feature is very useful for
browsing a large number of pages for appearance or page order.
For example, to check the navigation path of a number of web pages or review the narrative of a slide presentation, using
N-up is not only convenient but conserves paper as well.
y If you are using the Image Overlay feature in combination with N-up printing, the overlay prints once per sheet,
rather than once per page.
y When N-up printing is performed using the PS3 printer driver from an application that can create the PS command
directly, the print function will not work appropriately. In that case, disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option
in the [PostScript Settings] dialog box.
