Print as a Booklet Automatically (Windows®)

Use this option to print a document in booklet format using 2-sided printing. The document's pages will be arranged according to the correct page number and will allow you to fold at the centre of the print output without having to change the order of the printed pages.

Make sure the jam clear cover is closed.
If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray.
Use regular paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
