Uncheck Collate box in print dialog

Pages '09 Is there a way to change the Check Box beside Collate in the print dialog window? Currently, it is checked by default which causes each page to be spooled before it prints. For example, I have created a one page document and want to print 100 copies. If I forget to Uncheck the box, each copy spools individually and it takes forever to print. If it is Unchecked, the pages are printed very quickly. I would rather have to check the box if I want to Collate the pages.

The Print dialog is not a Pages feature.
It's a System one so there is no way to change its default behavior from Pages.

I already searched heavily for other settings but didn't found the file describing the default values.

I'm running into the same issue in our office. One solution was to make a new preset which works but then you have to remember to change the preset from "Standard."
