3. Next, go to printer preferences on the printer.
4. Go to the finishing tab, for standard booklets please tick Print on both sides, set Booklet Layout to Left binding, and pages per sheet to 2 pages per sheet.
5. In the output tab please select fold and stitch.
6. Once these settings have been entered, save the shortcut under a new name.
Once this process is complete, the driver will be set up for printing booklets.
