Xerox copier - Create a booklet

The Professional Finisher must be installed and enabled in order to create a folded and stapled booklet. Booklets can be created without the Professional Finisher installed; however, they will not be folded and stapled, just printed in booklet layout.

To print a booklet:

  1. Open the multiple-page document in the required application.

  2. Select [Print] from the File menu. The Print window will be displayed.

  3. If necessary, select the WorkCentre from the Printers list.

  4. Click on the [Preferences] or [Properties] button. The Preferences or Properties window will be displayed.

  5. Click on the [Layout / Watermark] tab.

  6. Click on the [Booklet Layout] radio button. If the Professional Finisher is installed continue with the next step. If the Professional finisher is not installed, skip to step 9.

  7. Click on the [Booklet Finishing] button. The Booklet Finishing window will be displayed.

  8. Select one of the following Booklet Finishing options:

    • [None]

    • [Booklet Fold]

    • [Booklet Fold and Staple]

  9. Click on [OK].

  10. Click on the check box next to [Fit to New Paper Size] to insert a check mark. The Paper Sizes field will become available below the Fit to New Paper Size check box.

  11. Click on the menu and select the required paper size.

    NOTE: A4 (210 x 297 mm) and Letter size (8.5 x 11 in.) paper must be loaded short-edge feed (SEF) in the paper tray.


  12. Click on [OK] twice to print the booklet.

The Booklet Creation option enables the production of booklets or multi-page copies from one or two-sided originals. The machine will scan the originals and automatically reduce and arrange the images in the correct sequence on the selected copy paper, so that a booklet is created when the copy set is folded in half. The Professional Finisher with Booklet Maker can fold and staple your booklets automatically, if installed.

NOTE: Supported paper types, sizes, and weights, as well as stapling and hole-punch capacity, will vary depending on the Finisher type. See the Related Content for additional information regarding Finisher specifications.

To create a booklet:

  1. Load the originals face-up in the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) with the long edge to the left.

  2. Select the paper tray that is loaded with the required paper on the Touch Screen.
