Pamphlet printing

Pamphlet printing lets you print a document with two pages, side by side, on a single sheet of paper which you can then fold to create a pamphlet, or a booklet if several sheets of paper are folded together. In this exercise you will learn how to:

For example, a four page A5 (148·5mm × 210mm) document can be printed sideways, two pages on each side of a single sheet of A4 (210mm × 297mm) ready for folding...

...or an eight page A4 (210mm × 297mm) document can be reduced in size so that the pages fit on two sheets of A4.

Converting an A4 document to pamphlet

In this exercise you are going to create an A4 pamphlet from an A4 document produced by Greg Taylor who was a year 11 student at The Romsey School in Hampshire.

The document will open, it comprises four A4 pages.

  1. Choose Print options... from the Misc menu.
  2. Click on Pamphlet (2 sheets/page). Note the scale automatically changes to 71% (this value may vary) because EasiWriter has calculated the required reduction.
  3. Click Update.

Printing a pamphlet

To print the pamphlet you print the first side (pages one and four), turn the paper over and print the other two pages. To do this you use the Pause between pages option in the Printer dialogue. This should already be turned on as it was saved with the document.

An dialogue will appear telling you the printing is paused:

  1. Check you have paper in the printer and click Continue.
  2. When the first side is printed the Printing paused dialogue will appear again.
  3. Turn the paper over in the printer and click Continue.
