Advanced Booklet Options

You can use Advanced Booklet Options to set the booklet margins and control the page order of printed booklets. You can use Reading Order to specify booklet folding on the left side (Left to Right) or the right side (Right to Left).

To apply Advanced Booklet Options:

  1. To enable booklet printing, select Booklet Layout, then select Advanced Booklet Options.
  2. To set margin sizes, click Booklet Margins, then select an option.
    • Standard Booklet Margin: This option reduces the page image size to print the document as a booklet without image loss. Use this option if your printer cannot print to the edge of the paper.
    • None: This option prints the document as a booklet without reducing the size of the page images. This option can cut off the image if the printer is unable to print to the paper edge.
  3. Specify gutter and creep as needed.
    • Gutter: Specifies the width of the center margin, in points, between the page images.
    • Creep: Specifies how much to shift the page images outward, in tenths of a point increments.
  4. For Reading Order, select an option.
    • Left to Right: This option sets the booklet layout so that when the booklet is folded, the fold is on the left side of the booklet. Left to Right refers to the reading direction of the text.
    • Right to Left sets the booklet layout so that when the booklet is folded, the fold is on the right side. Select this option if you are using a right to left reading language such as Arabic or Farsi.
  5. Click OK.
