When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding along either the left or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing will occur on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.

Booklet layout

For more information about printing books and booklets, see the end of this section.

The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Layout drop-down menu is Off.

•Left Edge Binding

•Right Edge Binding

When you select Left Edge Binding or Right Edge Binding, the document preview image changes to show the location of the binding, and, if the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically changes to 2. You may change the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or 16.

Book and booklet printing

Book and booklet printing are both supported by the HP Color LaserJet 3500 printer.

A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages that can have a different media type for the first page (front cover) or last page (back cover). Use the First Page and Back Cover options on the Paper/Quality tab (available when you select the Use different paper for first page check box) to select different media for the first and last pages.

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 Layout drop-down menu on the Finishing tab to control booklet settings.
