1. Use the [Imposition template] setting to fold a document: once to create a booklet, twice to create a quarto, or three times to create an octavo.

The sheets are printed in such a way that the pages of the folded document are presented in sequential order.

2. Use [Fit to page] to fit the source page size to the document size.

3. Use the [Multiple up] setting to print subsequent source file pages on one document page.

4. Use the [Same-up] setting to print the same source file page multiple times on a document page.

5. The [Zoom] setting creates more or less white space around the source file page or pages.

6. The [Align] setting aligns the source file page or pages on the document page according to the required position. This position reflects the direction when you hold the document in a readable way.

7. The [Shift]  → [Margin shift] setting shifts the source file page or pages on the document page to create more space at binding edges. Note that in this example a part of a source file page will not be printed.

8. The [Shift]  → [Image shift] setting shifts the entire imposition that is composed of the source file page or pages. Note that in this example a part of a source file page will not be printed.

9. The [Margin erase] setting erases the margin of the source file page or pages.
