When “Booklet Print Mode” is enabled, the printer equipped with a duplex unit will add a cover page and a back page to your job, and then print all pages in a booklet. 16 pages (4 sheets) is the maximum number, as Booklet Print.

Note: ● Once this mode is enabled, the maximum of simultaneous DICOM

print association is set to 1.

● When “Booklet Print Mode” is enabled, “Header” function is not

available.

“Booklet on A3/Tabloid paper” will print on A3/Tabloid paper.

“Add a CD Page on Booklet” will insert a page to stick a CD holder. This page is the first one just after the cover page.

WARNING:

• Booklets will be produced on A4/Letter paper whatever format you ask for on the modality.

• If your printer supports A3/Tabloid and you activate the selection, all booklets will be printed on A3/Tabloid paper.

• YOU NEED TO HAVE ONE TRAY CONFIGURED WITH THE DESIRED PAPER FORMAT. If not, the printout will be discarded WITHOUT WARNING.

To customize the cover page and the back page of your booklets, please refer to “Graphic Elements Creation Manual for DICOM Embedded Printer”.
