Add a cover

In Booklet Maker, you can add a cover to Saddle booklets and specify media for the cover.

For Saddle booklets only, Booklet Maker includes two cover options, either pre-printed or inline, for which you can specify media. You can specify additional options for an inline cover. If your copier/printer is equipped with an advanced finisher, such as a Perfect binder, see Printing, which is part of the user documentation set, for additional cover options.

  1. In the Layout > Booklet tab of the printer driver or Command WorkStation Job Properties, select Saddle for Booklet Type and select a binding edge.
  2. Specify the settings for Paper Size and Page Alignment for the body of the booklet.
  3. From the Cover Content input menu, do one of the following:
    • To insert a pre-printed cover, select Pre-Printed. The pre-printed cover will be merged with the body pages of your booklet, which print separately. If you select this option, the Front Cover and Back Cover options are disabled.

    • To specify an inline cover, select Front & Back Separately. Specifying this option prints the cover pages and body pages as a single job. Separate pages from your document are imposed on a single sheet that forms the cover of your booklet.

      You can specify an inline cover when your original document includes the cover pages and/or cover artwork for your booklet. The cover content may be the first and last pages of your document, or the first two and last two pages of your document, or any combination. If you select this option, you can specify the Front Cover and Back Cover options.

    • Front Cover and Back Cover (Inline covers only) - These options allow you to quickly decide whether your front and back covers print duplex (on both sides of the sheet), single-sided, or both sides blank, without needing to add blank pages in your original document.

    Note: When you print an inline cover with top-edge binding, the outside back cover automatically rotates 180 degrees to match the orientation of the front cover.
  4. Click Define Cover to open the Cover Media settings window, to specify media, size, and source tray. This option is available for both pre-printed and inline covers.
  5. Specify the media and paper size for the pre-printed insert, or for your inline covers.
  6. Select the tray that contains the pre-printed inserts or inline covers, and click OK.
