Setting the Binding Mode
To bind printed sheets like a book is called "binding." There are two forms of
binding; "long edge" which is binding on the long side of the page, and "short
edge" which is binding on the short side of the page. You can select both portrait
and landscape printing for both long edge and short edge binding.
Binding type and printing direction can be set using the following four binding
modes. These are 1 Portrait / Long edge, 2 Portrait / Short edge, 3 Landscape /
Long edge, 4 Landscape / Short edge. (See the figures below.)
