Booklet printing is primarily managed by software. Some page layout
software may be able to directly output a file that is ready for booklet
printing. In other cases, you may need a separate booklet printing
utility, which can convert your document into the correct format.

Booklet printing requires that the pages are imposed (arranged) in the
correct order. Depending on the number of pages, this often means
outputting the pages in a sequence that is different from their reading
order.

As long as the printer can work with your paper size and margin
settings, and the file itself, it can likely output the booklet.

Hope that helps. ...pt

XieXie-

Yes (I think). However, you need to run software that does the
"imposition" required to arrange pages so they are in the correct order.

One such program is "Cheap Impostor", which runs on a Macintosh.
http://www.cheapimpostor.com/ For other systems, do a search for
imposition software.

'Imposition' and 'imposition software' are something new to me. I
never heard of it. I read some on it and I agree. That software may
be very necessary to do booklet printing after all.

I may try a Brother laser for booklet printing. A few of their models
seem to be designed to do it.

Take a look at the FinePrint utility at http://fineprint.com/fptutorials/ . It does booklets – on almost any printer, it seems - and much more. I use it since many years with my inkjet because it works better that the booklet feature of the printer driver.

Well - I tried to download a trial and a free (preferable) version of
fineprint to see how it works. Could not get a copy - even after I
by-passed all the extra download garbage, which is not easy. Might I
ask you it you can post a download URL?

Yeh Mike.

I just bought the EHL-2270DW - refurbished @Staples $70, and have high
hopes. Price seemed great! To me anyway.
