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

<section id="reverse">
 <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>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>Reverse</gui>. The last page will be printed first, and so
  on.</p></item>
 </steps>
</section>

<section id="collate">
 <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 (i.e. all of the copies of page one come
 out, then the copies of page two, and so on). <em>Collating</em> will make each
 copy come out with its pages grouped together in the right order instead. </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>
