+<dd>Some page description languages support a NumCopies parameter.
+This parameter instructs the device to ignore this, producing only
+one copy of the document on output. Note that some devices ignore
+NumCopies regardless because of limitation of the output format

+<dd>Some devices implement support for "printing" multiple copies of the 
+input document and some do not, usually based on whether it makes sense 
+for a particular output format. This switch instructs all devices to 
+ignore a request to print multiple copies, giving more consistent 
+behaviour.
