layout list box (p-main)
Layout

The selected layout, shown in the picture, determines how your document will print.  As you select different layouts, the picture changes.

A layout is a specification of many settings, which you can see by going to the Modify Layout tab.  An important setting is the Clickbook Style, which is indicated in some layout names:

"Tiled" designates a tiled layout: designed for no cutting.

"Cut" designates a cut-book layout: designed to be cut and bound as a book.

"Folded" designates a folded-book layout: designed to be folded and stapled.

"Tri-Fold" and "Tri-Flip" are brochure layouts: a single sheet, meant to be folded twice, forming three panels.

For much more information about layouts, go to the Help tab.


Layout picture (p-main)
Layout picture

Shows the currently selected layout.  Clicking repeatedly on the picture cycles through all the layouts.

The picture shows how many pages are printed on one paper sheet and how they are arranged and numbered.  (The pagination shown is for a document that fills only one sheet.  Your printout may be different.)

Dashed lines show where to cut, and dotted lines where to fold.

Modify Layout tab


Modify--Selected layout
Layout

Shows the layout to be modified.  Select the layout you want to change before changing any settings.

To create a new layout, select a layout close to what you want, and then modify settings and save it with a new name.  You can modify any or all of the settings, so the choice of which layout to start from makes no difference except convenience.


Modify--Save
Save

Saves the layout as changed, using the name in Save as.


Modify--Abandon
Abandon Changes

Restores the selected layout to the settings it was last saved with.


Modify--Save as
Save as:

The name the changed layout will be saved with.  If you keep the original name, the original layout will be overwritten when you click Save.  If you change the name, saving will create a new layout and preserve the original.


Modify--# across/down
Mini-Pages on Sheet

How many mini-pages to print on one sheet of paper, given as the number of mini-pages Across and the number of mini-pages Down.

If you specify these, ClickBook will calculate the size of each mini-page.  You can then decrease the size, if you wish, by turning on Use Absolute Dimensions and then setting Width and Height.


Use Absolute Dimensions

Turn on this option if you wish to specify the actual Width and Height of a custom mini-page (final clickbook page) size.  When it is off, ClickBook sets Width and Height to the maximum size that will  fit on the paper.


Modify--Width/Height
Width, Height

The dimensions of each mini-page.  ClickBook calculates these automatically to the maximum size that will fit on the sheet of paper.  You can decrease these after turning on Use Absolute Dimensions, for example to match a custom page size exactly.


Modify--sheet orientation
Sheet Orientation

Orientation of the sheet of paper.  This is independent of the mini-page orientation.  To see what Portrait and Landscape mean, click on each in turn and watch the layout picture.


Modify--cut/folded/sequential
Clickbook Style

The four basic types of clickbooks (ClickBook printouts).  Choose Folded Book if you will fold between facing pages (for thin, usually stapled books).  Choose Cut Book if you will cut between facing pages before binding (for example, to punch holes and use a ring or spiral binding).

Choose Tiled if you wish to print several mini-pages to a sheet but not to cut the sheets.  Choose Tri-fold for a single-sheet brochure, to be folded twice, making three panels.


Modify--normal/flip
Binding Orientation

Choose Standard if you will bind the book on the left (and turn the pages in normal book fashion), and Flip if you will bind it on top (and flip the pages up).


Modify--single/db-sided
Print Sides

Choose whether to print one or both sides of the paper.  In Double-sided printing, ClickBook will print one side, then instruct you how to reinsert the paper, and then print all the second sides.

Note: Single-sided printing is not available for all types of layouts.  If unavailable for the currently selected layout, it's displayed as dimmed.


Modify--Scaling
Scaling

Choose Auto-scale to let ClickBook decide how to shrink your document's pages to fit on the mini-pages.  Choose Preserve shape to shrink proportionally, in order not to distort the shape of graphics or fonts.

Choose No scaling if you have prepared your document at exactly the size you want it to print.  In this case, you must make certain that the mini-page size accommodates the page size as defined in your application program.


Modify--Space for binding
Binding margin

This is extra white space, in addition to standard margins, at the page edges where you will bind the book.  (Also known as a "gutter".)  The space will be added on the appropriate side of each page, according to whether it's a Folded or Cut book, and whether Normal or Flip.


Modify--Margins,L&R
Left/right margin

The size of ClickBook margins on the left and right sides of the mini-pages.  These are in addition to the margins you set in your application program -- but remember that those margins will shrink as ClickBook shrinks the pages to fit several to a sheet of paper.


Modify--Margins,T&B
Top/bottom margin

The size of ClickBook margins on the top and bottom of the mini-pages.  These are in addition to the margins you set in your application program -- but remember that those margins will shrink as ClickBook shrinks the pages to fit several to a sheet of paper.


Modify--Paper size
Paper Size

The size of the paper you'll use with this layout.  The Width and Height of the currently selected paper size are shown for your information, but you cannot reset them.


Modify--units
Units

The unit of measure for numeric settings on this tab, namely, mini-page dimensions and margins.


modify--show layout
Layout picture

Shows the currently selected layout.  Clicking repeatedly on the picture cycles through all the layouts.

The picture shows how many pages are printed on one paper sheet and how they are arranged and numbered.  (The pagination shown is for a document that fills only one sheet.  Your printout may be different.)

Dashed lines show where to cut, and dotted lines where to fold.

Previewing a printout

Print Preview is not accurate in every detail, and your printout will look better than the preview.  Use your application program's print preview to view each (mini-)page in detail.  Use ClickBook's to see generally how the printed sheets will look, including: how the mini-pages are positioned, the relative sizes of margins and data, how many sheets will print, and how many blank mini-pages will be printed at the end.

Choose Front or Back to flip the sheet over and see the other side.

Click Next or Previous to see the next or previous sheet.  Note that Print Preview shows printed sheets.  So if you want to look at the mini-pages in order, you may have to alternately click Next and switch between front and back sides.

Important tips for preparing to print the second side

Be sure that all pages of the first side have printed before removing the printout stack.

Remove the printout stack from the printer without rearranging the pages.  Make certain, if any other print jobs were sent to this printer, that you are holding only your intended printout.   If you're on a network and the printer prints an extraneous separator sheet between printouts, throw out that sheet.

Turn the stack over if necessary to find the instruction sheet.  Read the instruction sheet without lifting it off the stack.

If you're sharing a network printer:  Before reloading your printout stack into the printer, you must assure that your second-side job will print next.  Do this through your network software, by talking with all other users, or by being the sole user on the network.

Reinsert the stack with the instruction sheet still on it.

If your printer puts out an extraneous sheet before each print job (e.g. printout separator sheets on network printer),  place a blank sheet on top after reinserting the stack.

If the printer went off-line when you reinserted the stack, turn it back on-line.
