Setting margins for binding documents
You can set either single- or double-sided pages for a document. For example, if you are printing a book, you would specify double-sided pages. You can set a margin for binding single-sided documents at the top, bottom, or along a side. The settings you choose determine how much margin space is allowed for binding.
You can set margins for binding double-sided documents. Before setting margins for printing double-sided documents, please read your printer’s documentation. The margins you set will depend on how the printer prints double-sided documents.
