PrintRange Optional AcPrintRange.

PageFrom Optional Variant. A numeric expression that's a valid page number in the active form or datasheet. This argument is required if you specify acPages for the printrange argument.
PageTo Optional Variant. A numeric expression that's a valid page number in the active form or datasheet. This argument is required if you specify acPages for the printrange argument.

Copies Optional Variant. A numeric expression. If you leave this argument blank, the default (1) is assumed.
