CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Copies
The Copies selection tells Windows how many copies you want to print
from a software application.
This setting is independent of the “copies selection” that may be
available within the print menus of your software application.
Do not use the two selections simultaneously.
Collate
In multiple page jobs that are uncollated, several copies of Page 1 are
printed followed by several copies of Page 2, followed by several copies of
Page 3, etc. For example, for 2 copies of a 3 page document, the MFC prints
Page 1, Page 1, Page 2, Page 2, Page 3, and Page 3 in order.
In multiple page jobs that are collated, a complete set of pages in a job are
printed followed by another complete set of pages. For example, printing 2
copies of a 3 page document, the MFC prints Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, then
Page 1, Page 2, and Page 3 in order. In this case, the MFC starts printing
after processing all the print data so that it takes a longer time for collated
printing than uncollated printing.
Reverse Order
The MFC normally prints Page 1 and ejects it face-up so that the following
pages are stacked on top of previous pages. (Page 5, Page 4, Page 3 .....
Page 1) When you want to get correct-ordered printouts, use this function.
The MFC spools the job in your computer and sends the data starting from
the last page to the printer. Since the MFC prints from the last page for-
ward, the printouts are stacked Page 1, 2, 3, ...Page 5. Please note that this
function takes more time.
