suggestion



Hi all,

The "Collate" checkbox on the the Job tab of the Print dialog is
accompanied by a graphical hint about the effect that is to be expected
(see attachment).

It changes from "12 12" to "11 22" and vise versa, but it wasn't
immediately clear to me what it meant, because 1 and 2 can mean page
numbers or document numbers.

If they are page numbers:
12 12 -> Print the first copy (page 1, 2, ...) and then optionally more
copies in the same way.
11 22 -> Print each page a number of times before going to the next
page.

If they are document numbers:
12 12 -> Print a page from copy 1, then copy 2, and so on, and then
print the next set of pages starting with copy 1, 
11 22 -> First print all pages of copy 1, then print all pages from copy
2, and so on.

I thought they are page numbers, because they are shown in the bottom
right corner, but it turns out they are document numbers. That really
surprised me. You may want to change the graphical hint.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Kind regards, Norbert
