COLLATE | NOCOLLATE

Details

A limited number of printers can collate output, which means to separate each copy of printed output when you print multiple copies of output.

For PostScript printers, if a device's PPD file has Collate defined as "True", the COLLATE option is supported.

For PCL printers that support collation, use the GPROLOG= option to specify a Printer Job Language (PJL) command to enable the collation. For information on the appropriate PJL command, consult the Printer Commands section of your printer's user manual.
