Binding Modes
Binding refers to the manner in which printed pages of paper are joined
together (by gluing, stitching, etc.) in book form. The two possible types
of binding are: long-edge binding, in which pages are joined together
along their long edge; and short-edge binding, in which they are joined
together along their short edge. In selecting a binding type, you must also
consider the orientation of the printed page. You can use long-edge or
short-edge binding with either landscape or portrait printing.
Depending on the binding type and print orientation, the duplexer
provides four types of binding. These are: (1) portrait, long-edge, (2)
portrait, short edge, (3) landscape, long-edge, and (4) landscape, short-
edge. The figure below shows these binding methods.
