Book and Booklet Printing

The HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printer supports both book and booklet printing.

A book is a print job that consists of at least two pages and that can have a different media type for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Front Cover, First Page, Other Pages, Last Page, or Back Cover settings on the Paper tab (available when you select the Use Different Paper/Covers check box) to select different printing options for the book.

A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can be folded into a booklet that is half the size of the media type. Use the Booklet Printing drop-down menu on the Finishing tab to control booklet settings.
