Quick Collate speeds the collation and printing of large print jobs and multiple sets of documents. The collate function in some software applications repeatedly sends each page in sequence to the printer until the requested number of copies is printed. With the
Quick Collate
option, the job is sent only once and then multiple collated sets are produced by the printer, allowing much faster processing time.
The number of pages that can be collated at one time depends on the size of the hard disk attached to the printer.
Through a supported driver -- generally through the
Properties
(Windows 95/Windows 98) or
Printer Specific Options
(Macintosh) menus, select
Quick Collate.
Quick Collate hints
Increasing the collation capacity.
For typical files, the internal IDE hard drive should be sufficient. If you need to increase the number of pages that the printer can collate at once, you can add an external SCSI hard drive.
Quick Collate and Check Print.
When you use the printer's
Quick Collate
option with
Check Print, only the first page of the first set is printed before pausing for your review.
NOTE
Make sure that you disable the collate function in your application, because the printer's
Quick Collate
option is faster than the collate function in software applications.
