PRODUCING BOOKLET BY CUTTING BEFORE PRINTING

摘要

A method of producing a booklet including an outer sheet and an inner sheet nested together. A processor calculates a cut length in a specific direction of the inner sheet using the thicknesses of the sheets, so that when the sheets are folded and the inner sheet is nested into the outer sheet, the edges of the inner sheet will not protrude beyond the edges of the outer sheet. A cutting device automatically cuts the inner sheet to the calculated cut length to define a fold axis. A print engine prints an image on the inner sheet after cutting the inner sheet. The inner sheet is automatically folded along its fold axis after printing. The outer sheet is automatically folded along its fold axis. The inner and outer sheets are automatically nested together to produce the booklet.
