The increased disk space allows more complex and longer collation
sequences. However, there’s a limit on how much can be collated
at one time. When 100 sheets are received for a print job, or when
a complex print jobs consumes all the collation disk space, chunk
collation occurs.
Chunk collation breaks a print job into smaller, more manageable
collation sections. For example in figure 5.5, copies “a” and “b” of
each collation section must be manually combined to create one
collated print job.
The main advantages of collation are user convenience and time
saved from not having to separate and sort individual copies of a
print job. Each copy exists as a whole unless chunk collation
occurs. If you print multiple jobs and choose collating, you may
want to add header and trailer pages to separate the jobs. (See the
“Administration/Special Pages” section in chapter 4 for details on
how to print header and trailer pages.)
