Printing: Beyond the Basics 4

Using the Quick Collate option

The Quick Collate option in the supported drivers performs document collation in the printer. This is faster than the collate option that exists in some applications because applications send each page to the printer in sequence, as many times as necessary to provide the requested number of copies. With the Phaser 380 printerÕs Quick Collate option, the job is sent only once, and then multiple collated sets are produced by the printer.

Note The Quick Collate feature requires that the printer be conÞgured with the Extended Features option. The printer must also be connected to a 1.2-Gigabyte external SCSI hard disk before collation is possible.

Tektronix offers a SCSI hard disk optimized for use with Tektronix printers; refer to ÒSCSI hard diskÓ on page 8-8 for ordering information.
