Collation
Your printer supports collation, the collation overflow option is
located in the Administration / Disk Operations menu. This option
specifies how much of a hard disk is dedicated to collation
overflow.
This feature works in the same manner as the Spool Overflow
option. If, when the printer is collating a print job, all the display
list memory is being used and the Collation option is enabled, the
printer shifts some of the display list storage to the hard disk.
If both the display list and the collation overflow memory are
completely exhausted during a single print job, the printer
automatically begins “chunk collating.” For chunk collation, the
printer prints and collates portions of the job instead of the entire
job at once. For example, if all the collation memory is consumed
by 50 pages of a 90-page job, the printer may print and collate pages
1 through 50 before continuing with pages 51 through 90.
NOTE: Chunk collation begins automatically after 100 pages
regardless of the size of collation memory.
Specific Printing Environments Examples
Since configuring memory is not an exact science, it may be helpful
to see how others in various printing environments have allocated
their printer memory to meet their printing needs best. The
following examples are to be used only as a guideline for
configuring your own printer’s memory.
