When printing multiple documents such as handouts for meetings, you can separate sets into order. Collate stores data transmitted from a computer to the machine's memory or hard disk drive.
When using the PCL 6 printer driver, Collate can be specified in the [Finishing] menu on the [Detailed Settings] tab. When using the PCL 5c/5e printer driver, it can be specified in the [Setup] tab. For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.
You can sort up to 1,000 pages, and up to 999 copies.
If form feed is executed by [Auto Continue] for a print job whose processing is disrupted by errors, Collate will be canceled. For details about [Auto Continue], see Executing Form Feed when Print Settings Do Not Match.
Collate
Printed output is assembled as sets in sequential order.
When Collate or rotation is specified in the printer driver, make sure [Application Collate] is not selected. The output may not come out as desired. Specify [Printer Collate] when printing the document.
The paper size and number of sheets supported by Collate function differ depending on the attached option. For details, see "Specifications", Maintenance and Specifications.
