Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. Create booklets for any
paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image
and prints four page images 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 the booklet.
Note: Booklets can be created using A4/210 mm x 297 mm (8.5 x 11 in.) paper, and
A3/297 mm x 420 mm (11 x 17 in.) paper.
When you print booklets using the Windows PostScript or Macintosh driver, you can specify the gutter
and creep.
• Gutter: Specifies the horizontal distance (in points) between the page images. A point
is 0.35 mm (1/72 in.).
• Creep: Specifies how much the page images are shifted outward (in 10ths of a point). This
compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which otherwise would cause the page images
to shift slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1 point.
