# Combining Multiple Pages into Single Page

This section explains how to print multiple pages onto a single sheet. The combine printing function allows you to economize on paper by printing multiple sheets at reduced size onto a single sheet.

For the PCL 6 printer driver:

1. After creating a document, open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box in the document's native application.

   The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.

2. To use an existing One Click Presets, click the [One Click Presets] tab, and then click the [2 on 1] icon in the [One Click Preset List:] box.

   If you do not wish to modify a custom setting that is already registered in the printer driver, change settings such as paper size and source tray as required, and then proceed to step 8.

3. Click the [Detailed Settings] tab.

4. In the [Menu:] box, click the [Edit] icon.

5. Select the combination pattern in the [Layout:] list, and then specify the method for combining pages in the [Page Order:] list.

6. Change any other print settings if necessary.

7. To save current setting in the One Click Preset List, select the [Unregistered] icon in [One Click Preset List:], and then click [Register Current Settings...]. Enter a name and comment that describe the setting, and then click [OK].

   The newly registered icon appears in the [One Click Preset List:] area.

8. Click [OK] to close the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.

9. Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

For the PCL 5e printer driver:

1. After creating a document, open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box in the document's native application.

   The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.

2. Select the combination pattern in the [Layout:] list, and then specify the method for combining pages in the [Page Order:] list.

3. Change any other print settings if necessary.

4. Click [OK] to close the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.

5. Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.

- This function is also available using the PostScript 3 printer driver.

- If the document contains pages with different original sizes, page breaks may occur.

- If the application you are using also has a combine function, disable it. If the application's combine function is also enabled when the driver's combine function enabled, incorrect printing is likely.

- For details about combining pages with different orientations and other advanced functions, see the printer driver Help.
