Combining and Printing Multiple Pages on a Single Sheet of Paper

You can print multiple pages on a single sheet at a reduced size (Combine 2 Originals).

For example, you can reduce an original of A4 size to A5 size and print two pages on an A4 sheet. You can use the 2 Sided Print and Combine 2 Originals functions at the same time to economize on paper.

You can print up to 16 pages on a single sheet and specify the order to arrange the pages on the sheet.
