QMS 1060E Print System Operation 3-6
Collating PCL 5 Files
PCL 5 allows you to set the number of copies you want to print per
page rather than per file. When collation is turned off, the printer
prints the requested number of copies for each page. However, when
collation is turned on, the printer looks at the number of copies for the
first page and prints that number of copies for each page.
Example—You have a 3-page PCL 5 file and specify 3 copies of
page 1, 1 copy of page 2, and 2 copies of page 3.
n
With collation turned off, the pages print in the following order:
1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3.
n
With collation turned on, the pages print in the following order:
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
