Printing: Beyond the Basics 5

Using the Quick Collate option

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 Phaser 360 printerÕs Quick Collate option, the job is sent only once and then multiple collated sets are produced by the printer, allowing much faster processing time.

Select Quick Collate through a supported driver, generally through the Properties (Windows 95) or Print (Macintosh) menu. Refer to the charts on page 4-20 and page 4-36, respectively.

Note To use the Quick Collate feature you must attach an external SCSI hard drive. Refer to “Tektronix external hard disk” on page 10-5 for ordering information.

With an added 2.1 GBytes of external disk space, the printer collates up to 500 pages in Standard mode and 130 pages in Enhanced (800 x 450 dpi) mode. Larger jobs are printed in collated batches. For example, to produce four copies of a 140-page job in Enhanced mode, the printer outputs four collated sets of the Þrst 130 pages and then four collated sets of the last

10 pages.
