Combining Multiple Pages into Single Page
This section explains how to print multiple pages onto a single sheet. The combine printing function
allows you to economize on paper by printing multiple sheets at reduced size onto a single sheet.
Types of combine printing
This function allows you to print 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages at reduced size onto a single sheet and to
specify a page ordering pattern for the combination. When combining 4 or more pages onto a
single sheet of paper, four patterns are available.
The following illustrations show example page ordering patterns for 2- and 4-page combinations.

Combine printing precautions
• If the document contains pages with different original sizes, page breaks may occur.
• If the application you are using also has a combine function, disable it. If the application's
combine function is also enabled when the driver's combine function enabled, incorrect
printing may occur.
• By combining the combine printing and booklet printing functions, you can print multiple
pages onto a single sheet and bind them to form a booklet. For details about booklet printing,
see "Booklet Printing", Operating Instructions.
• For details about setting the combine printing function using the PCL 6 printer driver or PostScript 3
printer driver for Windows, see "Edit", Operating Instructions.
