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
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 forward, the printouts are stacked Page 1, 2, 3, ...Page 5. Please note that this function takes more time.
