Printing booklets can be a breeze with the right equipment and settings. If you have a Sharp copier with a saddle stitch finisher, you’re in luck! This guide will walk you through the steps to create professional-looking booklets effortlessly.
Step 1: Prepare Your Document
Before you start printing, ensure your document is formatted correctly. For best results, use a PDF file with pages in multiples of four. This ensures that your booklet will fold and staple correctly.
Step 2: Access Printer Properties
- Open Printer Properties: On your computer, open the document you want to print and go to the print menu. Select your Sharp copier from the list of printers and click on “Properties” or “Printer Properties.”
- Select Paper Size: On the [Main] tab, choose the original size of your document (e.g., Letter) and the output size (e.g., Ledger AKA 11 x 17) if you want to print on larger paper and fold it down.
Step 3: Configure Booklet Settings
- Layout Tab: Navigate to the [Layout] tab. From the “Booklet” dropdown, select “Standard” or “Full Image” depending on your preference. “Standard” will resize the image to fit the paper, while “Full Image” will maintain the original size and fit it to the paper/.
- Finishing Tab: Go to the [Finishing] tab. If you have a saddle stitch finisher, select “Saddle Stitch” from the “Staple” dropdown menu. This will enable the copier to automatically fold and staple the booklet.
Step 4: Print Your Booklet
- Print: Once all settings are configured, click “OK” to save your settings and then click “Print.” Your Sharp copier will handle the rest, folding and stapling the booklet as it prints.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Staple Limit: If your booklet exceeds the staple limit, the copier may prompt you to divide the document into smaller sections.
- Manual Folding: If you don’t have a saddle stitch finisher, you can still print the booklet and manually fold and staple it.
By following these steps, you can create professional booklets with ease using your Sharp copier. Happy printing!
