When printing multiple documents such as handouts for meetings, you can separate sets into order. Collate stores data transmitted from a computer to the printer's memory or hard disk drive.
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
.
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.
Shift Collate
An optional finisher is required for this function.
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.
For details about setting the collate function using the PCL 6 printer driver or PostScript 3 printer driver for Windows, see Finishing
