# Booklet Printing

The booklet printing function allows you to print data for a booklet. Data is printed on both sides of the paper. This type of printing ensures that pages can be collated properly, in page number order, when the printed sheets are folded and stapled at the center.

The procedure for performing booklet printing is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Set booklet printing

   Select Booklet Printing from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab.
   The current settings are displayed in the Settings Preview on the left side of the window.

3. Select the print paper size

   Select the size of the paper loaded in the printer from the Printer Paper Size list.

4. Set the margin for stapling and the margin width

   Click Specify..., specify the following settings in the Booklet Printing dialog box, and then click OK.

   Margin for stapling

     Select which side the stapling margin should be on when the booklet is completed.

   Insert blank page

     To leave one side of a sheet blank, check Insert blank page check box, and select the page to be left blank.

   Margin

     Enter the margin width. The specified width from the center of the sheet becomes the margin for one page.

   Page Border

     To print a page border around each document page, check the Page Border check box.

5. Complete the setup

   Click OK on the Page Setup tab.

   When you execute print, the document will be printed on one side of a sheet of paper. When the printing of one side is complete, set the paper correctly by following the message and click OK.
   When the printing of the other side is complete, fold the paper at the center of the margin and make a booklet.
