Quick Click Printers

Quick Click Printers allow you to automate the printing process, and send print jobs directly to the printer without ClickBook intervention. You can instantly print side-by-side folded booklets, convert to PDFs, or print flipbooks with a single click. You will setup a ClickBook printer with your preferred layout. ClickBook will then make a custom Quick Click printer that is tied to your printer and a specific ClickBook layout. The Quick Click Printer will always print the same way each time to your printer. You can even setup a PDF Quick Click printer that will automatically convert files to PDFs, email them with your default email client, and add any encryption or password preferences. No more hassle thumbing through all of the layouts, simply setup a Quick Click Printer and let ClickBook handle the rest. By default there are two Quick Click Printers setup. "Side By Side Folded" prints standard 8.5x11 side-by-side folded booklets, and the second "PDF Converter" converts files to PDFs.
