Sets vs. Copies in print jobs refers to how multiple versions of your document are produced and organized.
- Copies: This is the total number of individual reproductions of your document. For example, if you request 10 copies of a 5-page report, you're asking for 10 identical versions of the full document (50 pages total).
- Sets: A "set" means one complete, assembled copy of your multi-page document (e.g., one full 5-page report is 1 set). When you specify the number of sets, you're ordering that many complete, ready-to-use copies—often with pages in the correct sequential order (collated). For example, 10 sets of a 5-page document means 10 fully assembled copies, each with pages 1–5 in order.
