Making booklets
Making booklets
To make booklets easily, you can use the multifunction finisher as your output device.
You can gain access to the booklet-printing feature through some programs, such as desktop publishing
programs. Refer to the user guide that came with your program for information on making booklets.
If you are using a program that does not suppor t booklet making, you can create booklets using your HP
drivers.
Note HP recommends that you use your program to prepare and preview your document for printing, then
use your HP driver to print and saddle stitch your booklet.
There are three main steps to creating a booklet from your driver:
z Preparing your booklet: Arrange the pages on a sheet (booklet imposition) to create a booklet. You can
impose your document from your program or use the booklet-printing feature in your HP driver.
z Adding a cover: Add a cover to your booklet by selecting a different first page using a different paper type.
You can also add a cover of the same paper type as your booklet. Booklet covers must be the same size
as the rest of the sheets. However, the covers may be a different weight from the rest of the booklet.
z Saddle stitching: Paper must be fed into the product short edge first. The multifunction finisher staples the
center of your booklet (saddle stitching). If your booklet is only one sheet of paper, the finisher will fold
the sheet, but not staple it. If the booklet consists of more than one sheet of paper, the finisher will staple
and then fold up to 10 sheets per booklet.
The booklet-printing feature of the multifunction finisher allows you to saddle stitch and fold booklets using the
following paper sizes:
z A3
z A4
z Letter
z Legal
z Ledger
