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.
