Printing a booklet in word mac manual#
Look into the printer manual what has to be done. You need to turn the paper sheet stack manually later on. Goto tab Page Layout and select the option Brochure.This applies to single side printers, which have no wizard for manually duplex printing. Select the number of copies and print.You should see in the preview on sheet 1 (front) the document pages 8|1, on sheet 2 (back) the document pages 2|7, on sheet 3 (front) the document pages 6|3, and on sheet 4 (back) the document pages 4|5. Drag the printing dialog wider, so that you have a large preview.And set the paper sheet orientation to “Landscape”. In that dialog set the paper sheet size twice of your document size, that means for document size DIN A5 you need paper sheet size DIN A4.That opens the dialog of your printer driver. Goto tab General and click on button Properties.Goto tab Optionsand check “ Use only paper size from printer preferences” and perhaps “ Use only paper tray from printer preferences” too.This applies to real duplex printers and such single side printers, which have got a wizard for manually duplex printing. For example, if you want a DIN A5 brochure, then write your document in DIN A5. Or you can set LibreOffice to arrange the pages. Whether you need to set sheet size and sheet orientation in that printer properties, depends on your printer. So you would enable that in printing dialog > tab General > Printer properties and do nothing else on your document. What works best for you, depends on your printer.
