When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding
along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the
lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on
the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar.
Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.
Booklet Printing
The Booklet Printing drop-down menu is visible when Print on Both Sides is selected and a supported
media size is selected in the Size is: drop-down menu on the Paper tab. The Booklet Printing drop-
down menu offers choices that are based on the current media size. The default setting is Off. The other
settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the media size that is set on the
Paper tab:
[paper size] (Left Binding)
[paper size] (Right Binding)
When you select [paper size] (Left Binding) or [paper size] (Right Binding), the document preview
image changes to show the location of the binding. If you change the Pages per Sheet setting manually
to 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, the booklet setting is disabled. For more information, see
Pages per
Sheet.
Booklet printing is disabled when unsupported media sizes (such as envelopes) are selected as the
media size, and an incompatibility error message appears when you click OK to close the driver.
