fgl_report_setPrinterSheetCollate

Controls the collation of multiple copies.

Syntax

fgl_report_setPrinterSheetCollate(
   sheetCollate STRING)

sheetCollate - Can be either collated or uncollated (default)

Usage

Specifies whether or not the pages of the document are to be in sequence, when multiple copies of the document are specified by the fgl_report_setPrinterCopies function. When sheetCollate is "collated", each copy of the document is printed with the pages in sequence. When sheetCollate is "uncollated", each page is printed a number of times equal to the value of the fgl_report_setPrinterCopies attribute in succession.

For example, suppose a document produces two pages as output, fgl_report_setPrinterCopies is 6, and sheetCollate is "uncollated"; in this case six copies of the first page are printed, followed by six copies of the second page.

Tip: It is discouraged to set sheetCollate to "collated" since it requires caching the entire document which is undesirable for large documents. If necessary, produce the document the required number of times.

Setting this option reduces the set of usable printers to those who are able to perform the collation as requested.

The function fails if the argument is not one of the specified values.
