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:
After creating a document, open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box in the document's native application.
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
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.
Click the [Detailed Settings] tab.
In the [Menu:] box, click the [Edit] icon.
In the [Layout:] list, select the combination pattern from the list.
Change any other print settings if necessary.
To save current setting in the One Click Preset List, 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.
Click [OK] to close the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.
Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.
For the PCL 5c printer driver:
After creating a document, open the [Printing Preferences] dialog box in the document's native application.
The [Printing Preferences] dialog box appears.
In the [Layout:] list, select the combination pattern from the list.
Change any other print settings if necessary.
Click [OK] to close the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.
Print the document using the print function in the document's native application.
This function is also available using the PostScript 3 printer driver. For details, see PostScript 3 Supplement.
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.
