Booklet Printing

You can print booklets with your regular printer without installing any extra plugins, and even if your software does not have booklet support.

Preparation

  • Make sure your document's page count is divisible by 4, i.e. it contains 4 or 8 or 12 or ... pages. If not, add empty pages.
  • Select the page count of your document:
  • Does your printer print double-sided?
  • Is the language read left-to-right (usual) or right-to-left (Hebrew, Farsi etc.)?

Printing

  • Set your printer's "pages per side" setting to 2.
  • Set your printer's "2-sided" (duplex) setting to "Short Edge", "Short Edge Binding", "Flip" or similar.
  • Print pages in this order:
  • Set your printer's "pages per side" setting to 2.
  • Print these pages first:
  • Flip the printed pages and put them back into your printer.
  • Now print these pages:
