PrintFile.Collate Property

Collate specifies whether collation will be used when printing multiple copies.  The default is False indicating that multiple copies will not be collated.

control.Collate [=boolean]

Property Value

Boolean.  Gets or sets a boolean value indicating if collation of multiple copies will be performed.  The default is False indicating that multiple copies will not be collated.

Remarks

Setting this property to True will allow multiple copies to be collated.  However, this property is applicable only when printing multiple copies (see Copies).

Note  The collation of multiple copies is handled by the printer, rather than software.  If the printer itself does not support collate, then no collation will occur.

To set the Collate property, click on the right side of the property and choose one of the options in the drop-down box as shown below.


Setting Description
True Multiple copies will be collated.
False (Default) Multiple copies will not be collated.
