PRINTING MULTI-PAGE DATA ON A SINGLE PAGE

Overview

This function reduces the print image and prints multiple pages on a single sheet of paper. This is convenient when you want to print multiple images such as photos on a single sheet of paper, and when you want to conserve paper.
Using the PCL6 printer driver, you can print only the first page in the original size and print multiple reduced pages on the subsequent sheets.
