Although Macos facilitates this process, we come to explain how it works, to avoid errors and save time when printing your copies.
Print in the correct order in Mac
In case you wonder what exactly this is Insert leaves or 'interspersed', it is a term inherited from manual impression, it refers to the order in which the pages are printed when multiple copies of a document are generated.
This function is activated in macOS from the print dialog box and, when enabled, the system prints each copy of the document as a whole before starting with the following. For example, if three copies of a five -page document are printed with the option of 'interspersed' activated, the result will be: 1,2,4,5, to print 1,2,3,4,5 again and re -print the leaves 1,2,3,4 and 5. However, if the option is activated, each page will be printed the number of times of the requested copies, before passing to the next sheet, therefore it will be: therefore, therefore it will be: therefore, therefore, it will be: 1,1,1 – 2,2,2 – 3,3,3 – 4,4,4 and, finally, sheet number 5 three times (5,5,5).
But there is something that you have to take into account, and it is that depending on the printer model, the leaves can come out in an incorrect order. This happens because some printers print the pages in ascending order (from the first to last), while others do it in reverse, in descending order. To avoid this problem, macOS includes an option called “leave of leaves”, which can be configured automatically, in manual or investing order.
How to print correctly in macOS
If the printer takes out the leaves down, the normal option will be responsible for organizing them correctly without the user having anything. On the other hand, if the printer is expelled by mouth, the inverted adjustment will ensure that the document is in the right order without the need to manually rearrange them. Leaving the option automatically will allow Macos to decide the best configuration depending on the printer model.
For those who need to print double -sided, the collation is also responsible for managing the order of pages in printers with duplex printing. But if the printer only admits a face impression, you can first print the odd pages, then turn the paper and print the even pages. This guarantees that the final document is correctly assembled.
Although it may seem more functionality within a complex ecosystem such as macOS, everything that is to understand how the intercalation of the leaves works in the Mac when printing can make a difference, especially when we print large volumes of documents. Thus we will avoid mistakes and expedite the process remarkably. Configure this function well and you can be sure that your copies are in the order you want at all times.
