IBM Lotus Symphony


Printing a Brochure

You can print a Lotus® Symphony™ Documents document as a brochure or a booklet. That is, Lotus Symphony Documents prints two pages on each side of the paper, so that when you fold the paper, you can read the document as a book.

When you create a document that you want to print as a brochure, use portrait orientation for the pages. Lotus Symphony Documents applies the brochure layout when you print the document.

To Print a Brochure

  1. Choose File - Print.

  2. In the Print dialog, click Properties.

  3. In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation to landscape.

    Tip Icon If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in landscape mode, you should use the "duplex - short edge" setting in your printer setup dialog.
  4. Return to Print dialog, and click Options.

  5. In the Pages area of the Printer Options dialog, select Brochure.

  6. For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, specify to print right pages and left pages.

  7. In the Print dialog, click OK.

If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing sides in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a printer with double-sided printing capability, you can create an entire brochure from your document without having to collate the pages later. If you have a printer that only has single-sided printing capability, you can achieve this effect by first printing the front pages with the Right pages option marked, then re-inserting the entire paper stack in your printer and printing all the back pages with the Left pages option marked.

Note Icon If Lotus Symphony prints the pages in the wrong order, open the Printer Options dialog, select Reversed, and then print the document again.
