You can print up to 16 pages on one sheet.
Poster Printing Prints a single-page document onto 4
(Poster 2x2), 9 (Poster 3x3), or 16 (Poster
4x4) sheets of paper, for the purpose of
pasting the sheets together to form one
poster-size document.

Poster Overlap in millimeters or inches by
selecting the radio button on the upper right
of Basic tab to make it easier to paste the
sheets together.
Booklet Printing Prints your document on both sides of a
sheet of paper and arranges the pages so
that the paper can be folded in half after
printing to produce a booklet.
If you want to make a booklet, you need to
print on Letter, Legal, A4, US Folio, or Oficio
sized print media.
The Booklet Printing option is not
available for all paper sizes. Select the
available paper Size option under the
Paper tab to see what paper sizes are
available.
If you select an unavailable paper size,
this option can be automatically
canceled. Select only available paper
(paper without or mark).
