Collating
Collating means printing multiple copies of a job in numeric order.
The printer can deliver multiple copies of your files in collated
order to the top cover. Figure 5.4 illustrates collated and uncollated
stacking for two copies of a four-page file. You can select collating
through your application, if its driver supports this option (such as
the QMS-provided Macintosh or Windows driver), or through the
printer front panel (see chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” for
information).
Configuring the Printer for Collation
Since a hard disk is already installed, using the hard disk for
collation instead of system RAM greatly improves performance.
To specify which disk and how much of that disk should be used
for storing collated print jobs, use the Administration/Disk
Operations/Collation menu.
