Booklet Maker imposition

Booklet Maker is an imposition feature that allows you to print multiple pages of a print job in a booklet style without relying on more advanced imposition programs.

Imposition is the process of printing multiple pages on single sheets of paper. When the imposed sheets are folded together as signatures, the pages follow in sequential or reading order.

Booklet Maker is designed for 2-up imposition, which imposes four individual pages from your document on a single sheet that is printed duplex, where two document pages are printed on each side of a single sheet of paper. It is capable of imposing jobs from nearly any application.

The order in which pages are imposed is determined by the binding method you select.

You can access Booklet Maker from the printer driver or from Command WorkStation Job Properties. You can work with Booklet Maker in two ways:

Using the Booklet Maker wizard - Recommended for first-time or novice users
Specifying settings in the main Booklet Maker window - Recommended for experienced or advanced users

Note: If you have accessed Booklet Maker from the printer driver, note that Mixed Media with 1-up perfect binding is not supported in the printer driver. To use this feature, you must send your job to the Hold queue in Command WorkStation.

This Help describes 2-up imposition layouts. If your printer is equipped with an advanced finisher, such as a Perfect binder, see Printing, which is part of the user documentation set, for additional options.
