Collating Multiple Copies
When printing multiple copies of a label file
containing more than one label, all the copies
of a label are printed before the next label
starts printing. You can choose to have the
label file print collated, so each complete copy
of the file prints before the second copy starts.
The following example shows three copies of a
label file containing three labels printed
normally and collated.
