Product: Officejet 8740
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I know the setting is somewhere but I can't find it.

 

If I print 3 copies of a 10 page document, I want each of the 3 sets to be separated pages 1-10, then the 2nd of 3, then the 3rd of 3 as pages 1-10. I want thissetting to become a default.

 

Where's the setting on the LCD keypad?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Hi @markg2,

Thank you for your reply, I'll be more than glad to help you.

 

I understand that you did not find the collate option in the driver settings.

 

I suggest that you print the documents from Microsoft Word to get the collate option.

You may follow the steps listed below:

1. Press Ctrl+P. Word displays the print options on the File tab of the ribbon.

2. Using the Copies control, specify the number of copies you wish to print.

3. Examine the controls in the Settings area. You'll find one that controls collation.

4. Change the collation setting as desired. (You can select either Collated or Uncollated.)

5. Click on the Print button to print the document.

 

Let me know if this works.

 

You have a good day ahead.

I searched your linked webpage for the keyword 'colate'. The word did not appear.

 

Can you be more specific?

Those instructions work across the board for print jobs issued from the computer.

 

However, what if I place a 10 page document in the sheet feeder and request 10 copies. How can I command those to be collated?
