Specifying Transmit Once Collation Mode
The Elite 21 printer can operate in two different collation modes:
•Transmit Once Collation Mode: When multiple copies of a single document are sent, the print driver on the computer sends the job once, then subsequent copies are processed directly by the printer.
•Driver Collation Mode: When multiple copies of a single document are sent, the driver on the computer generates and sends the print job to the printer once for each copy required
Transmit Once Collation Mode results in faster printing in most cases and frees up resources on the computer. Printers with less installed RAM, however, may experience errors when trying to print more complex jobs in this mode. If PostScript errors occur when using Transmit Once Collation Mode, you may want to add memory to the printer to increase the space for job storage, or switch back to Driver Collation Mode.
To enable Transmit Once Collation Mode, follow these steps:
•Make sure the printer’s display is reading “Ready”.
•Press either Menu key until “Configuration” appears.
•Press either Item key until “Collation Mode” appears.
•Press either Value key until “Transmit Once” appears.
•Press Select to accept the change.
•Restart the printer to enable the new settings.
The settings on the computer(s) that are to use the printer will also need to be modified to reflect this change, as follows:
Macintosh:
•Click once on the desktop printer icon for your printer to highlight it.
•Go to the Printing menu at the top of the screen, then down to “Change Setup...”
•In the Setup window, click on the “Change”
•Change the setting in the “To:”
•Click OK to accept the change.
