Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book. Create booklets
for any paper size that is supported for 2-sided (duplex) printing. The driver automatically
reduces each page image and prints four pages per sheet of paper (two on each side). The
pages are printed in the correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create a
booklet.
When you print booklets, you can also specify the
creep
and
gutter
in both Windows 98 and
Windows Me drivers. The gutter is the horizontal distance from the fold to the page image (in
points). The creep is the distance that page images are shifted inward (in 10ths of a point); this
compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which otherwise would cause the inner page
images to shift slightly outward.
