Job Finishing

The Job Finishing tab in the printer properties provides
options for you to adjust how the document will appear on
the printed page. Finishing options can include Booklet,
Poster, Handout and Two-sided Printing.

Note:

The Job Finishing options available will vary depending on your
printer driver and operating system.

Booklet

The Booklet option allows you to print a document out as a
booklet. If the Print Instruction Page is checked, a page will
print directing you how to insert the paper so that the
booklet prints correctly.

Poster

The Poster option enlarges the printed document. If you
check Show Crop Marks, the image will print with crop
marks. The white space around the image can be easily
trimmed.

Handout

Choose the Handout option to print multiple pages on a
single sheet of paper. If you want to print the document on
both sides of the paper, you can change the binding edge to
change how the image is printed.

Two-Sided Printing

The Two-Sided Printing option prints the document on
both sides of the paper. If you check the Print Instruction
Page box, a sheet will print describing how to insert the
paper. Selecting the Binding Edge will print the image in
either Portrait or Landscape mode.
