Booklet printing in the Windows drivers printing allows printing of
multipage documents with their pages ordered and arranged so that
final printed output can be folded into a booklet. Typically, letter (or
tabloid) pages would be reduced to half-letter (or letter) and printed
side by side on both sides of letter (or tabloid) paper, so that the
paper can be folded into a booklet.
Since this feature prints on both sides of the page, it requires a
duplex unit to be installed in the printer, and 256MB of additional
memory (512MB in total).
Notes
1. To find out how much memory is currently installed, print a
Configuration Page from the printer control panel. See the C9600
User’s Guide.
2. A few applications do not support booklet printing, but most do.
3. This feature is not available in the Macintosh drivers.
4. This feature is not available in the Windows 98 PostScript driver.
When using the PostScript driver, if you plan to print a long
document, more than about 16 pages, consider printing it in sections
of 8 or 16 at a time. This is called the “signature,” and will avoid
having too thick a stack of paper to fold to make your booklet. Your
document will then be printed in a series of booklets which can be
stacked one above the other. This is usually a neater arrangement.
The above considerations do not matter when using the PCL driver
as the signature can be set within the driver, and a long document
can be printed directly as a series of booklets.
Note that the number of pages in a booklet is always a multiple of
four, since two pages are printed on each side of each sheet of
paper. If your document is not a multiple of four pages long, the last
one, two or three pages in your folded booklet will be blank.
