Quarto seems not to be printing properly

Hi!

First, thank you for developing this! I am a big fan of Bookbinder 3.0 and was happy to find this project by chance.

I am having some issues, which I don't know if it's a bug or my incompetence. As most of A4 papers are long grain I am trying to make A6 books to practice bookbinding. So I decided to use the quarto function on A4 to get the grain direction right. But when I fold the papers according to the instructions, I can't seem to get the page order right.

In order to save paper to try I am using 2 A4 sheets for signatures, so 16 pages each.

I tried to fold the 2 sheets together and separate. Neither worked. The page 14 is behind the page 1, for example, so I don't think is because of the way I am folding.

These are my settings:

• Paper size: A4
• Printer type: duplex
• Page layout: quarto
• Page scaling: keep proportional
• Page positioning: centered
• Add flyleaf: no
• Standard signatures - length: 2 (I tried with other numbers too, but to save paper I lowered it to 2)

Print:

First sheet (front):
7  10
6  11
First sheet (back):
5  12
8  9
Second sheet (front):
3  14
2  15
Second sheet (back):
1  16
4  13

Any help is appreciated.

I think I found the problem. I changed the Duplex to short-edge and it works now. Also I have to fold the sheets individually and them put one inside the other. Sorry for creating this issue.

I will close it because it was false alarm.
