Differences with Spooling at Host
Depending on the items selected in [Spooling at Host] in the [Device Settings] tab, the following differences occur in the booklet printing output.
When you select [Auto] or [Enabled] (default):
The booklet will be printed on the paper selected from [Output Size] in the [Page Setup] tab.

The booklet will be printed on paper twice the size of that selected from [Page Size] in the [Page Setup] tab. Only [A4], [B5], [A5], and [Letter] can be selected for [Page Size]. [Output Size] cannot be set.
