How to print multiple page images on one page (N-up printing)
How to print multiple page images on one page (N-up printing)
The Multipage Printing (N-up) setting is used to print multiple page images on a single page. For example, 2-Up means two 
page images are printed on one page, 4-up means four page images are printed on one page, and so on.
The printer uses the Multipage Order, Multipage View, and Multipage Border settings to determine the order and orientation 
of the page images, and whether a border is printed around each page image.
1From the computer software application, select FileÆ Print.
2Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the application) to view the printer driver settings.
3From the Page Layout tab, select the number of images per sheet (from the Multipage printing section) and the 
orientation you would like the paper to have.
The positioning depends on the number of images and whether the images are portrait or landscape in 
orientation.
For example, if you select 4-Up multipage printing and portrait orientation, the results differ depending on the 
Multipage Order value you select:
4To print a visible border around each page image, select Print page borders.
5Click OK.
6Click OK on the Print window to send the job to print.

How to print a booklet
How to print a booklet
The Booklet setting lets you print multiple pages in booklet form without having to re-format your document so the pages 
print in the proper order. The pages print so that the finished collated document may be folded along the center of each 
page to form a booklet.
If the document contains many pages, a booklet may have too many pages to fold easily. If you are printing a fairly large 
booklet, you might want to use the Sheets per Bundle option to specify how many physical pages are put into one bundle. 
The printer will print the necessary number of bundles, which you can then bind into one booklet. Printing in bundles helps 
the outside edge of the pages line up more evenly.
You must specify whether or not you want to print using any Duplex printing options before you select to print using the 
booklet function. Once you choose Print Using Booklet, the controls for the Duplex options are unavailable and remain at 
the last setting used.
1From the computer software application, select FileÆ Print.
2Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the application) to view the printer driver settings.
3From the Page Layout tab, click More Page Layout Options.
4Click Booklet.
If your print job is large, you may want to use the Sheets per Bundle option.
5Select the appropriate binding edge for your print job.
6To print a visible fold mark on the pages, select Print fold mark.
7Click OK twice.
8Click OK on the Print window to send the job to print.
Note:Booklet printing is not available on a Macintosh computer.

How to print using an overlay or a watermark
Overlays and watermarks are templates that can be defined and then printed as a background on a form before the data 
from the current job is printed. Typical examples of overlays include company logos or letterheads, decorative borders, and

overlays and watermarks and then download them directly to the printer, or you can create an overlay or watermark file on
