Paper handling

The printer Collation setting causes the operating system to handle the print job and all its 
collated copies as 

one single job. The Collation - Collated Copies (QTY) setting, on the 

other hand, causes the printer to handle each collated copy as a 

unique job. 

You can, if you choose, use software applications to collate print jobs, but because such 
applications resend the job for each copy you request, you may experience print time 
delays. In addition, multiple collated copies of very large jobs require huge amounts of 
disk space to buffer the job effectively. To ensure that the printer performs the collation 
function, set Collation On using the printer operator panel, and make sure collation is 
turned off in the software application and driver.

Use the Separator Sheets menu item on the Finishing Menu to insert blank pages 
between jobs or between copies. This feature is especially helpful when processing sev-
eral collated documents. Use the Separator Source menu item to identify a specific paper 
source where you have loaded the paper you want to use as separator pages. 

Occasionally your printer may experience a memory shortage while printing a collated 
job. If this happens, the printer displays a 

error message, 

pauses for a period of time, then continues to collate the job.

Note: You must have previously set the Auto Continue menu item to On if you want 

the printer to continue printing after experiencing a memory shortage.

If you frequently collate large print jobs, you can help avoid memory problems by installing 
an optional hard disk device. Remember, though, that if you partition the hard disk for job 
buffering, you can’t use that particular storage area for collation.

See “Managing memory” on page 164 for more information on memory usage and solv-
ing memory related problems.
