Booklet printing in the Windows drivers printing allows printing of 
multi-page documents with their pages ordered and arranged so 
that final printed output can be folded into a booklet. Typically, 
A4 pages would be reduced to A5 and printed side by side on both 
sides of A4 paper, so that the paper can be folded into a booklet.

Since this feature prints on both sides of the page, it requires a 
duplex unit to be installed in the printer, and 256MB of additional 
memory (512MB in total).

When using the PostScript driver, if you plan to print a long 
document, more than about 16 pages, consider printing it in 
sections of 8 or 16 at a time. This is called the “signature,” and 
will avoid having too thick a stack of paper to fold to make your 
booklet. Your document will then be printed in a series of 
booklets which can be stacked one above the other. This is 
usually a neater arrangement.

The above considerations do not matter when using the PCL 
driver as the signature can be set within the driver, and a long 
document can be printed directly as a series of booklets.

Note that the number of pages in a booklet is always a multiple 
of four, since two pages are printed on each side of each sheet of 
paper. If your document is not a multiple of four pages long, the 
last one, two or three pages in your folded booklet will be blank.
