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.
Rotating Collate is available only when the optional SDRAM module is installed.
You can sort up to 1,000 pages and up to 999 copies when the optional hard disk is installed. Without the hard disk, you can sort up to 50 pages in color or 200 pages in black and white.
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.
Printed output is assembled as sets in sequential order.
