driver-collate-p

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: printer

Returns the value of the driver-collate-p property of the printer stream identified by the argument. If this printer stream property is turned on, it indicates that the user has requested on the print job dialog that the printed output be collated, and also that the printer driver is capable of doing the collating internally, and so the application does not need to print pages in a collated order explicitly.

Whether to collate may be specified programmatically by passing the :collate-p initarg to open-stream when creating the printer stream, or may be specified by the end user on the print job dialog that appears by default when calling open-stream to create a printer stream. The values of the driver-collate-p and user-collate-p properties will then indicate whether the application or the printer driver should handle the collating, if any.

driver-collate-p is a property of the printer class.
