Booklet |
These instructions tell you how to print the booklet using three standard
8.5" x 11" sheets of paper. You print on both sides of each sheet,
two pages of the booklet on a side. When you assemble the two-sided sheets,
then - "Viola!", a complete 12-page booklet.
Here we go - there are 7 steps:
- Print Pages 5,6: Click HERE
to activate Adobe Reader with Pages 5,6 and then click on the Adobe print icon.
Close your Adobe reader window so you can see these instructions again. (1b)
Now carefully take the sheet from the printer output tray turn it over (*usually
end-to-end, not side-to-side) and put the sheet back into you printer paper-feed
tray. Now you are ready to go on to the next step. Note: This works on most
desktop in-jet printers to set up the next page in the paper-feed tray so the
next two pages will will print on the back of pages 5,6 and right-side-up.
- Print
Pages 4,7 (on the back of Pages 5,6): (Click HERE
to activate Adobe Reader with Pages 4,7, and then click on the Adobe print icon.)
Pages 4,7 will print on the back of Pages 5,6. Close your Adobe reader window
so you can see these instructions again. Check it out - Take the page in
the printer output-tray and turn it right-side-up (landscape orientated). Turn
the sheet over from side-to-side. The two page images on the second side should
also be be right side up. If not, go back to "1", above
and redo, but at 1b turn take the sheet from the output tray and turn it
over from side-to-side before printing Pages 4,7. *This means you printer is different
from most so you will do the all three "turnover" steps, 1b, 3b
and 5b this same way.
That is the first sheet done. You will see
that there are actually two booklet pages per side, so at this point you have
printed 4 pages of your 12 page booklet. Set this sheet aside.
