Chapter 7

Print a multiple-page document as a booklet

The HP All-in-One allows you to print your document as a small booklet, which you can fold and then staple together.

For best results, design your document to fit on a multiple of four pages, such as an 8, 12, or 16-page program for a child's school play or for a wedding.

To print a multiple-page document as a booklet

1.Load paper into the input tray.

The paper should be thick enough so that the images do not show through to the other side.

2.On the File menu in your software application, click Print.

3.Make sure the HP All-in-One is the selected printer.

4.Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.

Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

5.Click the Features tab.

6.In the Paper saving options area, from the Two-sided printing drop-down list, select either On or Automatic depending on your software.

7.Select the binding edge from the Booklet layout list, as appropriate for your language.

•If your language reads left-to-right, click Left edge binding.

•If your language reads right-to-left, click Right edge binding.

The Pages per sheet box is automatically set to two pages per sheet.

8.Click OK, and then click Print or OK in the Print dialog box. The HP All-in-One begins printing.

9.Wait until the HP All-in-One has stopped printing for several seconds before removing any of the printed pages from the output tray.

If you remove the pages while the document is still printing, the pages might get out of order.

10.When the entire document has finished printing, fold the stack of paper in half, so that the first page is on top, then staple the document along the crease.

TIP: For best results, use a saddle stapler, or a heavy-duty stapler with a long reach to staple the booklet.
