Selecting Left Edge Binding or Right Edge Binding changes the document preview image to show
the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically
changes to 2 pages per sheet. Changing the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages
per sheet disables the booklet setting.
The Booklet Printing setting is disabled when A6 or B6 (JIS) is selected as the media size, and an

Book and booklet printing

different media for these pages.
A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can be folded into a booklet
