Paper size

Paper size is the actual size of the sheet of paper (unfolded) on which your booklet will print.

When you select a paper size for your booklet, you have several choices:

  • Select from Paper Catalog (if Paper Catalog is supported on the Fiery Server)

  • Create a custom paper size

  • Select Document size

  • Shrink document size to fit a selected paper size

Note: The Shrink to fit option only scales down or reduces the document page size. Shrink to fit does not scale up or enlarge. For more information, seeShrink to fit option .

Custom page sizes

Booklet Maker supports custom page sizes for the body pages and cover pages of your booklet. When you access Booklet Maker from the printer driver, you can also create a custom document size. The minimum and maximum custom page sizes depend on your copier/printer or finisher capability.

For information about the supported custom size range for your copier/printer, see Printing, which is part of the user documentation set.

Document size

Document size refers to the size of each page in your original document and is defined in your application’s Print Setup (or Page Setup) dialog box. In designing your booklet, it may be useful to think of document size as the digital input (the page size defined in your original document), and paper size as the physical output (the dimensions of the actual piece of paper in the copier/printer tray).

Note: The size defined in your application's formatting menu may differ from the size defined in your application’s Print Setup (or Page Setup) dialog box. The size that is relevant to Booklet Maker is defined in your application's Print Setup (or Page Setup) dialog box.

Edge feed

Edge feed is the side of the paper that first enters the copier/printer. The feed direction (short-edge feed or long-edge feed) is associated with certain paper sizes.

When you select a Document size in Print Setup (or Page Setup), it is not necessary to consider the edge feed associated with the paper size you select. However, the finisher may require edge feed in a certain direction. In Booklet Maker, paper sizes with feed direction that are not supported by the finisher are dimmed in the list of available sizes.
