Book and booklet printing
Book and booklet printing are both supported by the HP LaserJet 2300 printer.
A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages that can have a different media type for the first page (front cover)
or last page (back cover). Use the First Page and Back Cover minitabs on the Paper tab (available when you select
the Use different paper for first page check box) to select different media for the first and last pages.
A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet and that can be folded into a booklet that is half
the size of the media type. Use the Booklet Printing drop-down menu on the Finishing tab to control booklet settings.
The Booklet Printing drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices that are based
on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu is Off. The other settings have
the following format:
•
[paper size] (Left Binding)
•
[paper size] (Right Binding)
where [paper size] depends on the paper size set on the Paper tab.
Booklet printing is disabled when the following paper sizes are selected: Executive, A3, A5, B4, B5, and 11 by 17, and
envelopes and postcards of any size.
The Booklet Printing drop-down menu appears only when:
•
Print on Both Sides is selected.
•
% of Normal Size (on the Effects tab) is 100.
•
Pages per Sheet is 1.
•
Print Document On<media type> (on the Effects tab) is not selected.
If any except the first of these conditions is not met, a Bubble Help appears next to Booklet Printing to tell you why it
is disabled.
