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.
This function allows you to print 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages at reduced size onto a single sheet and to specify a page ordering pattern for the combination. When combining 4 or more pages onto a single sheet of paper, four patterns are available.
The following illustrations show example page ordering patterns for 2- and 4-page combinations.

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.
By combining the combine printing and booklet printing functions, you can print multiple pages onto a single sheet and bind them to form a booklet. For details about booklet printing, see Booklet Printing.
