Application Notes


Collating pages

When collating pages, FRED checks the state of the Page Order option to determine which sequence to print the pages in. For example, suppose your Output Window has A-R columns and 60 rows and a page can hold 5 columns and 20 rows.

 

If the Page Order option is set to “First Rows, then Columns”, FRED will print columns A-E and rows 1-20 on the first page, then print columns A-E and rows 21-40 on the second page, then columns A-E and rows 41-60. It will then move to columns F-J, and proceed in the same manner.

If the Page Order option is set to “First Columns, then Rows”, FRED will print columns A-E and rows 1-20 on the first page, then print columns F-J and rows 21-40 on the second page. It will continue in the same manner until it prints the entire print job.
