<title>Make pages print in a different order</title>

<section>
 <title>
  Reverse
 </title>
 <p>
  Printers usually print the first page first, and the last page last, so the pages end up in reverse order when you pick them up. If needed, you can reverse this printing order.
 </p>
 <p>
  To reverse the order:
 </p>
 <steps>
  <item><p><guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>Print</gui></guiseq></p></item>
  <item><p>In the <gui>General</gui> tab of the Print window under <em>Copies</em>, check <gui>Reverse</gui>. The last page will be printed first, and so on.</p></item>
 </steps>
</section>

<section>
 <title>
  Collate
 </title>
 <p>
  If you are printing more than one copy of the document, the print outs will be grouped by page number by default. (e.g. The copies of page one come out, then the copies of page two, etc.) Collating will make each copy come out with
its pages grouped together.
 </p>

 <p>
  To Collate:
 </p>
 <steps>
  <item><p>Click <guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>Print</gui></guiseq></p></item>
  <item><p>In the <gui>General</gui> tab of the Print window under <em>Copies</em> check <gui>Collate</gui>. </p></item>
 </steps>
