Looking to see whether it is possible to use the copies/collation options in a datawindow to print muti-part forms to a laser printer.
The idea is that we have more than one copy of a print job and each copy gets its own color (the paper will be in the ream in sets of the colors, so for a 3 copy setup we have: yellow sheet, white sheet, blue sheet, then yellow, white, blue, etc.)
the idea is that if i have a 3 page print job, it will print page 1 three times, then print page 2 three times, then page 3 three times.
i had copies set to 2, and tried the collate both as yes and no. in both cases it prints pages 1,2,3 and then pages 1,2,3 instead of page 1, page 1, page 2, page 2, page 3 page 3.
