Printing Booklets
With automatic 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book. Create booklets 
for any paper size supported for automatic 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each 
page image and prints four pages 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 a booklet.
When you print booklets, you can also specify the creep and gutter.
•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 1.0 points.
•Gutter: Specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point is 0.35 mm 
(1/72 in.).
The following additional booklet printing options are available in some drivers:
•Draw Page Borders: Prints a border around each page.
•Ta r g e t  P a p e r  S i z e: Specifies the size of the paper for the booklet.
•Right to Left: Reverses the order of the pages in the booklet.
