Options Guide
Pages

Specify which pages to process using a range expression.

Examples: 'all' = every page. '1-5' = pages 1 through 5. '1,3,5' = specific pages. '1-10 odd' = odd pages 1-9. '2-20 even' = even pages 2-20. 'last' = last page. 'last-2' = third from last. Ranges are 1-based. Combine with commas: '1-5, 8, 12-15'.

Expert Tip

Horizontal flip is for work-and-tumble backup; vertical flip is for work-and-turn. Always flip before imposition, not after, so registration stays consistent.

Flipping a page with text will mirror the text. This is intentional for backup alignment but will produce unreadable output if applied to a front-side layout by mistake.
