Table 3-2 Page orientation (continued) Orientation (Basics tab) Flip Pages Up selected Landscape Long-edge binding Flip Pages Up not selected Short-edge binding 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 note pad. 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.

Use the Front Cover, First Page, Other Pages, Last Page, or Back Cover settings on the Paper tab (available when you select the Use Different Paper/Covers check box) to select different printing options for the book.
