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: Bind Long Edge, in which pages are joined together along their long edge; and Bind
Short Edge, 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 Bind Long Edge or Bind Short Edge 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, Bind
Long Edge, (2) portrait, Bind Short Edge, (3) landscape, Bind Long Edge, and (4) landscape, Bind Short Edge. The figure
below shows these binding methods.
