<pre wrap="">I used a duplex laser printer, but Bookbinder has support for
non-duplex printers too (it will create one PDF for the fronts and one
for the backs). It also has e checkbox for "alternate rotation",
depending on whether your duplex printer turns or tumbles the sheet.
So I recommend a test run (like the one I did) to make sure the
signatures come out right (or to try out how to turn or tumble the
sheets when putting them back into a non-duplex printer for printing
the backs).
When I previously have used a non-duplex printer to print signatures
I've made a "turning instruction" to myself to make sure I get the
same result every time (else it is easy to forget what way you turned
the pages last time). I find it easiest if you can just take the
sheets from the output tray and put them back, withut turning/tumbling
or rotating, but that means you have to make sure the signatures are
designed for such printing. I did that by making BAT-files (under
Windows) or scripts to create the imposition. But then I used
Multivalent, I'm not sure if Bookbinder can be controlled from the
command line (I think not).

Peter, I'm thinking that there is a significant difference between
an Ink Jet Printer and a Laser Printer. Apparently, a Laser Printer
does not have a Non-Printable area around the sheet of paper that an
Ink Jet Printer has. I tried Bookbinder several months ago for
imposing signatures of my book and it did an excellent job of
imposing and sending to PDF reader for printing but, as I stated in
a post recently, because of the Non Printable area built into Ink
Jet Printers I wound up with my Margins wider than designed and Body
Text narrower than designed. It made no difference whether I was
printing Duplexe or printing one side of the sheet and reinserting
the sheet to manually print the back side, the results were the
same. As stated in my recent post, Tracker Software who offers
PDFXChange Viewer free, found a solution to this problem that
requires editing the Registry in Windows to cause the software to
ignore the Non Printable area. Again, I offer to furnish more
details for anyone who may be interested. Of course, the Bookbinder
files will suffice if a commercial printer will do the printing of
the book.<br>
