Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book. Create booklets for any 
paper size that is supported for 2-sided (duplex) 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 in supported drivers.
•Creep: Specifies how much the page images are shifted inward (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 .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.

Printing Cover Pages
A cover page is the first or last page of a document. You can choose a different paper source for the 
cover page than for the body of a document. For instance, use your company letterhead for the first 
page of a document, or use heavyweight paper for the first and last pages of a report.
• Use any applicable paper tray as the source for printing cover pages.
• Verify that the cover page is the same size as the paper used for the rest of your document.
If you specify a different size in the driver than the tray you select as a cover pages source, your 
cover(s) print on the same paper as the rest of your document.
You have several choices for cover pages:
•No Covers: Prints the first and last pages of your document from the same tray as the rest of 
your document.
•Front Only: Prints the first page on paper from the specified tray.
•Front and Back: Front and back cover pages print from the same tray.
For the back of your front cover to remain blank when 2-sided printing, page two of your document 
must be blank. For the back cover of your document to remain blank, see the following table for 
inserting blank pages.
