How to choose Short-Edge binding on Mac OS Sierra?

Question

Hi, I'm having trouble locating the short-edge binding setting within my print booklet settings/presets. I think it is set to long-edge binding by default and this is not the appropriate setting for my jobs. I have attached an image of my printing box, which looks different to most screenshots I've seen online for this issue. I have the option to select the type of print (2 up saddle-stitch etc) but none for binding type.

My printer is a Canon MG6851 and has been able to do this type of printing before - automatically without me finding short-edge settling. Please help! Thank you.

Sorry, my first post was wrong, changing the orientation could work but the total dimension of the document's spread would have to fit the A4 Page Size. Print Booklet imposes printer spreads, so you are printing spreads that will get folded.

Looks like your document's page dimension is also A4 (21 x 29.7cm), so to print spreads, the paper would have to be at least 42 x 29.7. If the document is landscape 29.7 x 21, you would need to print on 60 x 21.

Your page width is shorter than the height. Setting the Orientation is just going to rotate the print area. Can you setup a custom page size for the Canon?
