Specifying Printing Side Settings

You can use the Printing side menu on the toolbar to specify on which sides of the sheet to print and the direction in which the sheets open.
    Important:

  • When you change the printing side option using the toolbar, the Printing Side setting in the Impose panel is also updated.

  • The available printing side options depend on the type of imposition specified for the job.

  • The printing side settings determine the binding edge and the finishing options that you can specify for the job. For example, if the printing side setting is Front side (1-sided), open to left, you cannot set stapling or punching options for the right edge of the sheets.

To specify printing side settings for the job:
  1. Click Printing side button, the Printing side button, on the toolbar.
    Printing side menu
  2. Select one of the available printing side options:
    • Front side (1-sided), open to left: The job prints on the front side of the sheet and the sheets open from right to left.
    • Both sides (2-sided), open to left: The job prints on both sides of the sheet and the sheets open from right to left.
    • Front side (1-sided), open to top: The job prints on the front side of the sheet and the sheets open from bottom to top.
    • Both sides (2-sided), open to top: The job prints on both sides of the sheet and the sheets open from bottom to top.
    • Front side (1-sided), open to right: The job prints on the front side of the sheet and the sheets open from left to right.
    • Both sides (2-sided), open to right: The job prints on both sides of the sheet and the sheets open from left to right.
