Printing Booklets
With 2-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small booklet. Create booklets from any
paper size that is supported for 2-sided printing. The driver automatically reduces each page image and
prints four page images per sheet of paper, two page images on each side. The pages are printed in the
correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create the booklet.
When you print booklets using the Windows PostScript or Macintosh driver, you can specify the gutter
and creep.
• Gutter specifies the horizontal distance in points between the page images. A point
is 0.35 mm (1/72 in.).
• Creep specifies how much the page images are shifted outward, in tenths of a point. Shifting
compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which would cause the page images to shift
slightly outward when folded. You can select a value from zero to 1 point.

Using Color Options
The Color Options control the way the printer uses color to produce your document. The Windows
PostScript and the Macintosh drivers provide the widest range of color controls and corrections. Each
system has three standard modes of color control for normal use and Custom Color Options for the more
advanced users.
The three standard color modes are:
• Automatic Color applies the best color correction to text, graphics, and images. This setting is
recommended.
• Vivid Color applies automatic color correction to make office colors more saturated.
• Black and White converts all color in the document to black and white or shades of gray.
