Multiple Pages per Sheet

You can set the arrangement of the pages from the Layout tab as well as print borders around each of the pages.
When Multiple pages per sheet is selected, Scaling and Poster are unavailable.

Application Based Printing
An administrator can associate a profile with an application so that all printing from the application uses the same profile settings. This makes profiles easier to use and ensures consistent printing from an application. For example, a duplex profile can be applied to all spreadsheet printing to save paper.
Associations between profiles and applications can be created at any time in the
Profiles dialog box. To use the associations in printing, the feature must be turned on in the Administrator Settings dialog box, accessed from Device
Settings.
A maximum of 25 associations can be created in the Application Based
Printing dialog box, accessed from the Profiles dialog box.
In a client/server environment, clients can view details about server associations but cannot change settings or select another profile.
Once profiles have been created or imported, you can create an association between a profile and an application. Then the application always prints using the associated profile settings.
