This article contains information on how to print a booklet from a Microsoft Windows OS and from an Apple Macintosh.
To Print Booklets From a Windows OS
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. You can create booklets from any paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The print driver automatically reduces each page image and prints four page images per sheet of paper, two page images 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: Not all options listed are supported on all printers. Some options apply only to a specific printer model, configuration, operating system, or driver type.
