Red Book Printing Instructions
for PDF booklet printing

For Double-Sided Capable Printers (highly recommended)

  1. Open the "PDF version for printing" file.
  2. In the printing dialog window, look for the "double-sided" printing option.
  3. If you can't find it, see the instructions for standard printers. Double-sided printing requires that your printer be equipped with a duplexing unit (many HP LaserJet 4000 series printers come with this feature).
  4. In the printing dialog window, look for the "Binding" option Set "Binding" to the 8.5" side (the shorter side)

For Standard Printers

  1. Open the "PDF version for printing" file.
  2. In the printing dialog window, look for the "Print Even/Odd" option. Choose "Print Odd"
  3. Select "Print"
  4. Once the pages have printed, flip the pages over, and re-insert them into the printer.
  5. Again in the printing dialog window, choose "Print Even" instead of "Print Odd"
  6. Select "Print"
  7. This will very likely take a few tries to get right.

Printing Tips

  • Put a sheet of red in as the first sheet to make it a true "Red Book!"
  • If possible, print the Red Book PDF on a PostScript Level 1 or higher compatible printer. This includes most laser printers.
  • Color printing adds some flair!
