Combining Multiple Pages into Single Page

This section explains how to print multiple pages onto a single sheet. The combine printing function allows you to economize on paper by printing multiple sheets at reduced size onto a single sheet.

Important

  • The combine printing function is not available on a custom size paper. To use the combine printing function, specify a standard size paper.

1After creating a document, open the Printing Preferences dialog box in the document's native application.

2To use an existing Custom Setting, click the icon in the [Custom Setting name:] box.

If you do not wish to modify a custom setting that is already registered in the printer driver, change settings such as paper size and source tray as required, and then proceed to step 9.

3Click [Add/Change Custom Settings...].

4Click the [Edit] tab, if it is not already selected.

5Select the [Layout/Poster/Imposition] check box, and then select the combination pattern from the list.

6Specify the page order by selecting the appropriate icon.

7Change any other print settings if necessary, and then click [Save As...]

If you are modifying an existing setting and want to overwrite the previous setting, click the [Save] button and then proceed to step 9.

8In the [Custom Setting name:] box, enter an appropriate name for the settings, and then click [OK].

9Click [OK] to close the printer preferences dialog box.

10Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

Note

  • If the document contains pages with different original sizes, page breaks may occur.

  • If the application you are using also has a combine function, disable it. If the application's combine function is also enabled when the driver's combine function enabled, incorrect printing is likely.

  • For details about combining pages with different orientations and other advanced functions, see the printer driver Help.
