Using Quick Collate
Requirements
Plus Feature Set 
Hard drive (internal or external)
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.

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.
