Enhanced N_UP Example 3: Asymmetric Pages

The previous figure shows the flexibility and power of enhanced N_UP printing. With enhanced N_UP printing, you can place pages relative to any partition on the sheet, front or back, in any sequence. Pages are not limited by partition boundaries. The only limitations are that pages must not print outside the physical form boundaries, and you cannot place more pages on a sheet than the number specified in the N_UP subcommand. For an N_UP 4 duplex page, the limit is eight pages total on front and back sides combined. For N_UP 3 duplex, the limit is six pages on the front and back combined.

Note: In the duplex examples shown in the previous figure, all of the pages can be on one side, with the other side blank.
