Printing booklets

Printing a Single Signature

When printing a book made with folded paper, Indesign has the function to set pages in the right order. The instructions below will help you print your booklet directly to the HR Printers. To print on the Cannon, please use our PDF exporting instructions.
Please be aware that your document should have a total page count that is dividable by 4. This is because a single sheet of paper that is folded in half, has 4 pages on it.

In this example the file has a total of 24 pages.

1. Step one

First we will go over the steps when printing a single signature booklet.
Go to File > Print Booklet.

The menu that pops-up has a couple of rele-vant options. Make sure the Booklet Type (1) is set to 2-up Saddle Stitch.

Click Print Settings (2) to make more detailed settings.

2. Step Two

First select the right printer (3) - in our case HR-FollowMe.

In the lower half of the menu you should select Print Blank Pages (4)

3. Step Three

First select the size of paper you are going to print on (5)

Set the Orientation (6) to landscape

Set the page position (7) to Centered.
Scale if necessary.

If necessary (and your paper has enough space left over) you can print Crop Marks and Bleed in Marks and Bleed (8)

Now we need to do the settings for the printer (9) - click it.

4. Adding paper manually

- Make sure to check the package of you paper for the weight of the paper:
The Canon C600i can print on up to 300 grams paper.
- Upload your pdf 2001 file as always into the Fiery Command workstation Held folder and double click your file to open the properties/setup window. Select MEDIA in the left column.

1. Manually select the multi-purpose tray as paper source and chose your paper size.
2. Instead of using the paper catalog, you use the media type menu to select the weight of your paper.

For matt paper use the “heavy” settings, for glossy and coated paper use the “2-sided coated” settings.

When in doubt ask the station instructor for help.

At the printer's paper tray

Put your paper in the multi-purpose tray and close the slides until the printer recognises your paper size.
Press change at paper type.

To find the paper type menu you need for your own paper, select standard paper type in the drop-down menu on the left.

Use the menu to select the same paper type you selected in the printing program.
Press ok twice and you are ready to go.
