Book style - suitable for printing.

The manual has been designed to be printed on A4 or Letter size paper which is then folded to make an A5 size booklet. This slightly complicates the printing process if you do not own a printer that automatically prints on both sides of the paper. To create the book style you should print the manual in two phases: 
  1. Print the odd pages only.
  2. Turn the paper over and ensure that the page to be printed next is on the AISBackup Manual  front page. If you normally load your printer with the paper face down then you will have to re-order the pages before you re-insert them into your printer. Also make sure that the words are facing the same way as in the first print phase.
  3. Print the Even Pages only.
  4. Fold into a book.
  5. Insert a staple or two.
