Using the Quick Collate option
Quick Collate speeds the collation and printing of large print jobs and
multiple sets of documents. The collate function in some software
applications repeatedly sends each page to the printer in sequence until the
requested number of copies is printed. With the Phaser 360 printerÕs Quick
Collate option, the job is sent only once and then multiple collated sets are
produced by the printer, allowing much faster processing time.
Select Quick Collate through a supported driver, generally through the
Properties (Windows 95) or Print (Macintosh) menu. Refer to the charts on
page 4-20 and page 4-36, respectively.
Note
To use the Quick Collate feature you must attach an external SCSI
hard drive. Refer to “Tektronix external hard disk” on page 10-5 for
ordering information.
With an added 2.1 GBytes of external disk space, the printer collates up to
500 pages in Standard mode and 130 pages in Enhanced (800 x 450 dpi)
mode. Larger jobs are printed in collated batches. For example, to produce
four copies of a 140-page job in Enhanced mode, the printer outputs four
collated sets of the Þrst 130 pages and then four collated sets of the last
10 pages.
