The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method of generating documents having one or more cover pages. A document may be printed with one or more covers. A user may format the covers as being printed on a front page, printed on a back page, printed on both the front page and the back page, or printed on neither the front page nor the back page. The cover can be printed as two-side even if the remainder of the document is printed as one-sided. The disclosed method and apparatus also allow the user to print a document with a top cover, a back cover, both a top cover and a back cover, or neither.
