Collate on a single page document printing multiple copies?

[joe_l]

I know this is not a show stopper and maybe the devs were too lazy to implement an additional condition.

When you print a document with multiple copies having only ONE page, there is no reason to make the Collate checkbox available.

Can you please provide me with more information on the printer that you are using as I am seeing the Collate option being greyed out when printing a single page document.

Oh dear. Most important part was missing. 🙄 You get the checkbox active if there is a value > 1 in the Copies field, which also does not make sense.

I think that's just standard Windows processing.

Here's the Print dialog from MS Paint, for example, with a 1 page document set for 2 copies. As soon as Copies is > 1 the Collate box becomes active:

That seems to happen for anything using the system's Print dialog.

With more than 1 copy selected then you have the option to collate both copies onto a single page, for example if you have a A5 document you can use this feature to place two copies on a single A4 and reduce the paper usage for multiple copies

? Maybe I am too stupid, but you have to show me your printing settings. I thought this is what the Model N-Up is meant for. But in this case you don't need to give a number of copies or even check the Collate box.
