I can only suggest that the number of pages follows the imposition frame. To the least you?re going to need: an even number of pages (ad blank pages if necessary). Then, depending on the way the manual is going to be binded, multiplle of 2 might not be enough. You might need multiple of 4 or 8. I also suggest that you discuss early with your printer. Only to avoid deception and cost.
