If you are printing signature booklets on more than one duplexing laser printer, create an imposition output process template for each printer. The settings in the process template are device-specific, so you cannot share imposition output process templates among several printers.
Because there is only one Windows Print Manager document for each signature booklet, you cannot load-balance the printing ofsignature booklet among several printers.
Note: Be sure to test each process template on its specified printer.
