Booklet Modes
The booklet mode can be selected using the following options.
The booklet mode applies only for the PostScript data. When the PCL data is printed, the booklet mode option will be
invalid.
In a job, if this value is LT, and in PDL too the data is for LT paper size, this will result in a scaled booklet on Letter paper.
In a job, if this value is A3, and in PDL the data is for A4 paper size, this will result in a tiled booklet on A3 paper.
When the Booklet Mode options is selected, the paper size is automatically set to the same size as for Booklet Mode. This
function is only available for A3, A4, B4, Letter and Ledger paper sizes.
If the booklet mode is selected, then duplexing is also selected automatically (sduplex). Setting duplexing separately can
override the booklet mode setting for duplexing.
Example: The command to select the letter size paper for the booklet printing mode is
“lp –o booklet=letter filename”.
