Abstract
Methods and devices receive instructions to print (on print media sheets) a booklet from a document, and automatically format the booklet to arrange multiple pages of the document to print on each of the print media sheets by performing duplex printing with multiple pages of the document being printed on each side of the print media sheets. The methods and devices automatically determine the number of blank page locations of the pages of the document occurring on the last pages of the booklet, and output a message that identifies the number of blank page locations and an option to relocate the blank page locations to different locations within the booklet. The methods and devices then receive a response regarding relocating at least one of the blank page locations, and automatically reformat the booklet to reposition the blank page locations.
