Making a Booklet

Those Xerox Nuvera systems with a Multi-Function Finisher (MFF) offer booklet making capabilities.

For details about the Multi-Function Finisher, see Finisher Capabilities.

To make a booklet

Multiple-page documents can be arranged in a folded and bound output, most commonly called a booklet. The Xerox Nuvera allows you to set up a booklet output job in a few different ways.

Two conditions must be in place in order to process a booklet job:

  1. A multi-page document: either a hard-copy original or an electronic file.
  2. A properly configured Xerox Nuvera system. See Setup paper trays for details.

Sample Copy workflow

  1. Place multi-page original in the Document Feeder.
  2. On the Copy section (chosen by default), begin setting the Job Properties.
  3. On the Basic tab of the Copy section, select Booklet Folded and Stapled from the Finishing/Stapling dropdown menu.
  4. Choose 2 to 2 sided from the Sides Imaged dropdown menu.
  5. Choose Size / US ledger 17x11” (A3) from the Loaded Stock list. Make sure a tray has been loaded with this stock type. See Configuring Paper Trays for details.
  6. Click on the Output tab. Click the Layout button. Choose Booklet from the Layout Style dropdown menu.
  7. Choose Portrait from the Original Orientation menu.
  8. Click <Copy>.
