When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding
along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the
lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on
the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a notepad.
Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.
Booklet Printing
The Booklet Printing drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices
that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu
is Off.
Left Edge Binding
Right Edge Binding
Selecting Left Edge Binding or Right Edge Binding changes the document preview image to show
the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically
changes to 2 pages per sheet. Changing the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages
per sheet disables the booklet setting. For more information, see the
Print a booklet on page 115 section
of this chapter.
The Booklet Printing setting is disabled when A6 or B6 (JIS) is selected as the media size, and an
incompatibility-error message appears when you click OK to close the driver.
Book and booklet printing
The HP LaserJet P2030 Series printer supports book and booklet printing.
A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages that can have a different media type for the first
page, other pages, or back cover. Use the First Page, Other Pages, and Back Cover settings on the
Paper/Quality tab (available when you select the Use Different Paper/Covers check box) to select
different media for these pages.
A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can be folded into a booklet
that is half the size of the media type. Use the Booklet Printing drop-down menu on the Finishing tab
to control booklet settings.
