Turn collation On in the configuration menu.
» Note: Collating through your application is more time consuming
than collating through the printer. The application sends the
complete job the requested number of times rather than sending
it once and holding data in printer memory.
For a multiple-copy document with collation On, there must be
enough Display List memory to hold the display list blocks for all
pages in the collation range. (See the “Display List” memory section
in the
Reference , for detailed information on display list blocks.) If
there is not enough memory, then a chunk collation boundary is
forced after the last compiled page of the collation range.
Chunk Collation
This mechanism of introducing a forced boundary is known as chunk
collation. Chunk collation breaks a document into several smaller,
more manageable sets by gathering the pages into “chunks.” When
each set is printed, it frees up memory resources to compile subse-
quent pages of the document. For example, in the following illustration,
copies “a” and “b” of each set must be manually combined to create
one collated document. The order of printing is copy 1(a), copy 2(a),
copy 3(a), copy 4(a), copy 1(b), copy 2(b), copy 3(b), and copy 4(b).
» Note:
The order of output on your QMS 4060 Print System is from
first to last page in both the stacker and face-down output trays. With
32 MB memory, a complex multiple page document sent via the face-
up output tray may be chunk collated to ensure that the order of
pages is first to last.
