### Print as a Booklet (Windows®)

Use this option to print a document in booklet format using 2-sided printing. The document's pages will be arranged according to the correct page number and will allow you to fold the print output at the centre and read the booklet pages numerically, without having to change the order of the printed pages.

- Select A4 sized paper when using the automatic 2-sided printing function.
- Make sure the back cover is closed.
- If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray.
- Use regular paper or thin paper. DO NOT use bond paper.
- If the paper is too thin, it may wrinkle.
- When you use the manual 2-sided printing function, it is possible there may be paper jams or poor print quality.

1. Select the print command in your application.
2. Select Lenovo LJXXXX (where XXXX is the name of your model), and then click the printing properties or preferences button.
   The printer driver window appears.
3. Select the Basic tab.
4. Click the Portrait or Landscape option to set the orientation of your printout.

   If your application software contains a similar layout feature, we recommend using the one in the application.
