Use the N-up feature on the Setup tab to print 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages on a single sheet.

Advanced Document Processing—Printing

The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF printer drivers provide several advanced document processing functions for printed documents:

￿Printer-based electronic collation

￿N-up printing

￿2-sided printing

￿Form overlays

￿Watermarks

Printer-based electronic collation

Collation refers to sorting multiple printed copies of a multi-page document into the proper order.

Printer-based electronic collation means that the document file is transmitted to the magicolor 2480MF or

2490MF only once, and the sorting is done at the all-in-one.

For example, if you want 2 collated copies of a 3-page document, on the Paper tab specify 2 copies and select “Collated.” The document file is transmitted to the magicolor 2490MF once, and the pages are printed in the order 1-2-3 (copy 1), 1-2-3 (copy 2).

N-up printing

The n-up option allows 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages of a multi-page document to be printed on a single sheet of media. You can also add a border line around each page and specify the flow of the pages across the sheet.

2-sided printing

If an optional duplexer is not installed, 2-sided documents can be printed manually by printing one side, reinserting it in the input tray, and then printing the other side.

If an optional duplexer is installed, four automatic duplex options are available on the Setup tab: Short Edge Binding, Long Edge Binding, Booklet Left Binding, and Booklet Right Binding. The two Booklet options print pages that can be folded in half to create a booklet.
