Document Collation
Allows job collation (for multiple-copy jobs only). The options are:
•Uncollated (the default setting)
For example, five uncollated copies of a three-page job will result in five copies of page 1, then five copies of page 2, and finally five copies of page 3; that is: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3.
•Collated
Use this option when you want to print two or more separate sets of a job that contains two or more pages. For example, five collated copies of a three-page job will result in one set of all three pages in order, then a second set of all three pages in order, then a third set of all three pages in order, and so on; that is: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
Certain print jobs are always collated. These are Proof jobs, discussed under “Job Type” (see page 3-22) or jobs that request more than one copy of a multiple-page job with page separators, discussed under “Select Paper” (see page 3-23).
