Making booklets

You can use some programs, such as de sktop publishing programs, to help you prepare y our booklet. Refer to the use guide that came with your program for information about making booklets.

If you are using a progr am that doe s not support booklet-making, y ou can create booklets using your HP printer drivers.

Note HP recommends that you use th e program to prepare and pre view your

document for printing, and then use y our HP driver to print and saddle stitch your booklet.

These are the three main steps that create a boo klet f r om your driver:

z Preparing your booklet: Arrange the pages on a sheet (booklet

imposition) to create a booklet. You can impose your document from your program or use the booklet-printing feature in your HP driver. (See "To activate booklet printing".)

z Adding a cover: Add a cover to your booklet by selecting a

different first page using a different paper type. You can also add a cover of the same paper type as your booklet. Booklet covers must be the same size as the rest of the sheets. However, the covers can be a weig ht diff ere nt from the rest of the b ooklet. (See

"To select a booklet cover".)

z Saddle stitching: Staple the center of your booklet and th en fold

the pages. If your booklet is only one sheet of paper, the device will fold the sheet but not staple it. If the booklet consists of more than one sheet of paper, the device staples and then folds up to 10 sheets per booklet. (See "To saddle stitch a booklet".)

The booklet-printing feature of the device allows you to fold and saddle stitch booklets composed of the following paper sizes: A3, A4, letter, legal, ledger, and B4-JIS.

Note Before printing booklets on Letter and A4 media, see your input tray

paper-loading instructions for rotated media (LTR-R and A4-R).

Using the stapler

The device can staple documents consisting of a minimum of two pages and a maximum of 50 pages of 75-g/m

(20-lb) Letter or A4

paper (a maximum of 25 pages for Ledger or A3 paper). The pages

must be 64 to 199 g/m

(17 to 53 lb) in weight for any paper size the

product supports. Consider these additional points:

z The stacker bin can hold up to 1,000 sheets stacked (without

staples).

z Heavier media might have a stapling limit of fewer than 50 pages. z If the job you want t o hav e stapled consists of only one sheet, or if

it consists of more than 50 sheets, the device delivers the job to the bin without staples.

Selecting the stapler

You usually can select the stapler through your program or driver, although some options might be available only through the driver.

Where and how you make selections depends on your program or driver. If you cannot select the stapler from the program or driver, select the stapler from the product control panel.

32 2 Finisher tasks ENWW

Choosing the output bin

Identifying the output bins

The device has two output locatio ns: the stacker bin and the booklet bin.

Stacke r b in (bin 1)

Booklet bin (bin 2)

The default stacker bin (bin 1) provides 1,000 sheets of stacking capacity and delivers docu ments face up or face down, depending on which option is selected in the driver.

The booklet bin (bin 2) provides folding and saddle stitching for 40 booklets composed of up to 5 sheets (20 finished pages) of paper. A stacking guide automatically adjusts to accommodate the size of the booklet in production.

The stapler serves both bins, and staples as many as 50 sheets of paper per document or 10 pages per saddle-stitched document.

A sensor causes the printer to stop when the device bins are full. Operation continues when you remove all media from the bin.

Note Transparencies, envelopes, labels, prepunched paper and cut-sheet

paper are supported in the stacker bin (bin 1).

Note If you print env elope s, remo v e all en v elopes f rom t he bin once the job

is complete to maintain stacking quality.

ENWW Choosing the output bin 33

Selecting the output location

You can select an output location (bin) through the software application or through your printer driver. (Where and how you make selections depends on your program or driver .)
