Color Mode

Color mode lets you choose full-color printing (CMYK) or printing with black toner only. When the selection appears in color, all color settings in the driver are enabled. Color cannot be chosen if Black & White mode is selected in the Device Settings > Administrator Settings > Lock Settings.

Collate

Collate specifies the order in which the pages of a multiple copy job are printed. With Collate selected, the first time the print job is sent to the printing system the data is rendered as page images in the printing system's memory. The remaining job copies are printed from the stored data. This avoids the extra processing involved in sending every copy from the computer to the printing system.

With Collate selected, the driver prints the complete job set by set. With Collate cleared, it prints each page by set. For example, with Collate selected, three copies of a five-page document output as pages one through five in succession, three times.

The printer driver automatically overrides the application's Collate setting and uses the printer driver setting. You can use the application's Collate setting by clearing the Ignore application collation check box in the Compatibility Settings dialog box accessed from Device Settings.
