Printer Object
 
Syntax
 
Printer.Collate = colFalse
 
Description
Returns or sets whether multiple copies will be collated.
 
Using colTrue provides faster, more efficient output for collation, since the data is sent to the device driver just once, no matter how many copies are required. The printer is told to simply print the page again.
 
The default value for this property depends on the printer driver and the current printer settings.
 
This property relies on the printer driver, and may or may not be available on a particular printer. After setting this property, read it back to make sure the driver made the change, or check the Error property. If it is set to vperDeviceIncapable (7), then the printer does not support the selected setting and you should take appropriate action.
