BOOKLET is designed to create PC Booklet sized documents from full page text files on Laser Printers which emulate the Hewlett- Packard LaserJet series. It prints four pages of the text file on one sheet of paper. The pages are printed "two thirds size" on the right and left halves of both sides of a sheet of paper turned sideways (Landscape orientation.) It supports all the standard sizes of paper (A4, LETTER, LEGAL, and EXECUTIVE) BOOKLET will perform transformation on basic LaserJet formatting commands. This means that you can use your word processor to print a formatted document to a file and use BOOKLET to print that file in booklet form. For this to be successful, you must have fonts loaded in your printer for the sizes BOOKLET will use. These can be from a font cartridge or may be soft fonts which you have loaded ahead of running BOOKLET. BOOKLET does not create or load any fonts. You will need fonts which are approximately two thirds the point size of the fonts you use in your document. The BOOKLET Document has been formatted for LaserJet printers so it is not easy to read on a computer screen. You may need to supply one or more parameters to BOOKLET. The size of paper you are using is required if it is not LETTER. This will be either /S:A4 for the European standard paper or /S:LETTER for US 8.5x11 inch paper. A second parameter is needed if you are using the Multi-Purpose tray on an HP LaserJet IIP or LaserJet IIIP and your output is going to the normal stacker tray. This parameter, /K:MP causes the order of printing to accommodate the way these printers take paper from the MP tray. Your command line would look as follows: BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:MP If you are using the front output tray, use the /K:DJ parameter in place of the /K:MP parameter. For the HP DeskJet series you will need to add two parameters. Add /K:DJ /AS:9,1.5 to cause the printing order to match the way the DeskJets feed paper and to tell BOOKLET about the extra unprintable margin these printers have. Your command line would look as follows: BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:DJ /AS:9,1.5 If you have a printer other than the above which stacks its output with the printing up you will need /K:INVERTED as a second parameter. Your command line would look as follows: BOOKLET /S:LETTER /K:INVERTED When you are prompted to load the pages for the second side, place the pages face down (as they came out of the printer) in the source paper tray. (Unless you are using the Multi-purpose tray. In that case, the pages should be face up.) BOOKLET is distributed as shareware. Shareware is commercial software distributed in an unconventional manner. Shareware isn't free. If you use it regularly, the authors expect compensation. Shareware allows you to evaluate the product before you purchase it. If you use this product, you are obliged to register it. Copies of BOOKLET may be freely distributed in its self-extracting form (BOOKLT.EXE.) No fee, charge or other compensation may be accepted for the distribution of BOOKLET. Except, Public Domain Disk Vendors and BBS(s) may charge a nominal fee for distribution of the program. Such charges must clearly be labelled distribution charges and the recipient of BOOKLET must be informed that the distribution fee does not relieve the payment of the registration fee for BOOKLET.
