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.

If the PCL 6 printer driver is used, Collate can be specified in the [Output Settings] menu on the [Detailed Settings] tab. If the PCL 5c printer driver is used, it can be specified in the [Setup] tab. For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.

Important

  • 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 an Error Occurs.

Collate

Printed output is assembled as sets in sequential order.

  • If the information icon (Icon illustration) is displayed next to the "Collate:" list in the PCL 6 printer driver or PostScript 3 printer driver, you cannot specify Collate. Click the information icon (Icon illustration) to check why collate function is unavailable.

  • If the information icon (Icon illustration) is displayed next to the "Ignore Application Collate" check box in the PCL 5c printer driver, you cannot change the collate setting. For details, click the information icon (Icon illustration).

  • When Collate is specified using the printer driver, make sure [Application Collate] is not selected. The output may not be what you require. Specify [Printer Collate] when printing the document.
