Printing: Beyond the Basics 4

The number of pages that can be collated at one time depends on these factors:

The number of hard disks attached to the printer.

Complexity of the pages to be collated.

According to these factors, the printer collates in sequential sets as many pages as will fit in the available disk space. For example, you have a 150-page job and you request 4 copies. Because the print job is very complex, all of its description will not fit on the hard disk. In this case, the printer divides the job into two segments and prints in this manner:
