Document Collation
Allows job collation (for multiple-copy jobs only). The
options are:
• Uncollated (the default setting)
For example, five uncollated copies of a three-page job
will result in five copies of page 1, then five copies of
page 2, and finally five copies of page 3; that is: 1, 1, 1,
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3.
• Collated
Use this option when you want to print two or more
separate sets of a job that contains two or more pages.
For example, five collated copies of a three-page job
will result in one set of all three pages in order, then a
second set of all three pages in order, then a third set of
all three pages in order, and so on; that is: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2,
3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
Certain print jobs are always collated. These are Proof
jobs, discussed under “Job Type” (page 3-9) or jobs that
request more than one copy of a multiple-page job with
page separators, discussed under “Select Paper” (page 3-10).
