Collate

When printing multiple documents such as handouts for meetings, you can separate sets into order. This function is known as "Collate". Collate stores data transmitted from a computer to the machine's memory or hard disk drive.

Important

The followings are the three types of Collate.

Collate

Printed output is assembled as sets in sequential order.

Rotating Collate

Every other print set is rotated by 90 degrees.

When the two paper trays contain the same size paper and same paper type in different orientations, the output result will be always Rotating Collate.

Illustration of shift collate

The finisher shift tray moves backward or forward when a job or set is output, causing the next to shift, so you can separate them.

Separation Sheet

A separation sheet is inserted between each set.

  • Separation sheets are fed from the tray specified in the machine's default settings. For details about the separation sheet tray, see "System Settings", Network and System Settings Reference.
