Booklet Printing
What is the benefit?
When you use this function the printer driver prints the pages in a certain way so that when folded, the document becomes a booklet.
How does it work?
To use the Booklet function, you must install the optional Duplex Unit (DX-XXXX).
Note:
The models with built-in duplex support Booklet printing and do not require installation of an optional Duplex Unit.
After installing the Duplex Unit into the printer, you must ensure that the printer driver is configured to use the Duplex Unit. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Click the 'Start' button, then click 'Settings', and then 'Printers'.
- Right click the 'Brother HL-7050' series icon and click 'Properties'
- Open 'Accessories' tab
- Click 'Auto Detect' button in the 'Accessories' box, or select 'DX-7000' from the 'Available Options' box and then click 'Add' button.
- Click the 'Apply' button and then 'OK' button.

From a Windows applications such as Microsoft Word, click the "File" menu, and then select the "Print" option. You will see a dialogue similar to the one below:

If you would like to specify the offset value of the binding side, check the 'Binding Offset' box and input the value.

To make the Booklet, fold the printed pages down the middle. When using the booklet printing function, please note that the paper size, orientation, source and other settings must remain unchanged for the whole document.
