Specifying the number of pages and copies


    If you are printing artwork that cannot fit on a single page, you can print (tile) the artwork onto multiple pages. (See Dividing the artboard into multiple page tiles.)

    The number of pages that Illustrator prints is determined by the Setup options selected in the Print dialog box. If the Single Full Page option is selected, a single page prints. If any other View option is selected, for example, the Tile Full Pages option, you can specify a page or a range of pages to print.

    You can set the following General options in the Print dialog box:

    Pages

    If you are tiling artwork onto multiple pages, this indicates which pages you want printed.

    • All prints all of the pages.
    • Range lets you enter a range of pages, with numbers separated by a hyphen to indicate an adjacent range, or a comma to separate nonadjacent pages or ranges. Other allowable delimiters for nonadjacent pages or ranges are spaces, or a space and a comma together.
    • Skip Blank Pages skips any pages that contain no artwork.

    Copies

    Defines the number of copies to print

    Collate

    Prints an entire copy, then the next copy. With this option deselected, all copies of a page are printed, then all copies of the next page, and so on.

    Reverse Order

    Prints pages in reverse order.
