Note

  • 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.

  • When Collate or Rotation 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.

  • If you cannot configure Shift Collate even with an optional finisher shift tray installed, options may not be set up correctly in the printer driver. To correct the printer driver's option settings, see "Specifying the Option Configuration or Paper Settings Manually", Driver Installation Guide.

  • The paper size and number of sheets supported by Collate, Rotating Collate, and Shift Collate functions differ depending on the attached option. For details, see "Specifications", Specifications.
