>>>>I have a report that could be multiple pages and it always prints out 3 copies. The paper this prints on is color coded. So the first page is white the second page is blue and the third is pink. So what I need is that if the report would overflow to 2 pages I need page one to print out all three copies first then have page 2 print out all three copies so that the paper prints on the correct color. How can I do this? I looked at _PBPAGE and _PEPAGE but my report didn't seem to take these into effect. To get the report to print three copies I use the _PCOPIES and set it to three.

I think I found an EZ way. If in the reports EXPR I set
COPIES=3
COLLATE=0
It prints out correctly. Now I just need to make sure that this is a gobal printer setting like the ORIENTATION one is.
