Comb Binding

Comb Binding

One page per side of a sheet, with a margin reserved along one edge for comb binding holes. This is similar to One-Up, but with the binding margin built in.

Source pages

Each source page is printed on its own sheet (or on one side of a sheet if double-sided printing is enabled).

Options

Double-sided printing

Enable this to print on both sides of the paper. Pages are paired in order, just like One-Up.

Orientation

The orientation of the output paper.

Binding edge

Which edge of the paper the comb binding holes will be punched along.

Hole pattern

The hole pattern to use. Different patterns are available for different paper sizes and binding comb types. The binding margin is calculated automatically based on the selected pattern.

Hole inset

The distance from the edge of the paper to the centre of the holes. Each hole pattern has a sensible default, but you can override it here if you need to. Use Reset to go back to the default.

Marks

With the Comb Binding imposition style, you can add hole punch marks in the Marks pane to show you where to punch.
