Using Quick Collate

Requirements

■Plus Features (Option FP, order number Z740FP)
■SCSI external hard disk
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 Quick Collate option, the job is sent only once and then multiple collated
sets are produced by the printer, allowing much faster processing time.
The number of pages that can be collated at one time depends on the size of the hard
disk attached to the printer.
Select Quick Collate through a supported driver, generally through the Properties
(Windows 95/Windows 98) or Printer Specific Options (Macintosh) menus.

Increasing the collation capacity.
To increase the number of pages that the printer
can collate at once, purchase a larger hard disk.
Quick Collate and Check Print.
When you use the printer’s Quick Collate option
with Check Print, only the first page of the first set is printed before pausing for
review.

Make sure that you disable the collate function in your application, because the
printer’s Quick Collate option is faster than the collate function in software
applications.
