‰Making a Booklet

Printing in normal booklet mode produces a document that, when folded, becomes a properly paginated booklet or magazine-style publication. You can even create bound booklets that are folded and stapled in the center.

For example, if you create a document on letter-size paper (8½ x 11 inches) and then print in booklet mode, the yield is a 5½-x-8½-inch booklet. Each page has been scaled to fit on half a sheet and reordered so that the booklet is properly paginated when folded.

To retain your original document size when printing booklets, select the booklet size to be the same as your original document size. Then, your 8½-inch document is printed on ledger size paper (11 x 17 inches) and reordered so that, when folded, the yield is an 8½-x-11-inch booklet. You can select from the following page-size options when printing a tiled booklet:

yLetter Booklet on Ledger

yA4 Booklet on A3

yB5 Booklet on B4

When Booklet printing is performed using the PS3 printer driver from an application that can create the PS command directly, the overlay image will not be printed. In that case, disable the [Use PostScript Passthrough] option in the PostScript Settings dialog box.
