Instead of printing one PDF page per sheet, you can print multiple pages at once. This printing method is called N-up, where “N” is the number of PDF pages (2, 4, 6, ...) to be printed on one sheet. For example, 6-up printing is printing six PDF pages on one paper sheet.Printing multiple PDF pages on one sheet at once reduces printing costs and waste.
