Printing: Beyond the Basics 5
User Manual 5-9
The number of pages that can be collated at one time depends on
these factors:
■ Printer’s memory configuration.
■ Presence and size of a hard disk attached to the printer.
■ Complexity of the pages to be collated.
According to these factors, the printer collates in sequential sets as many
pages as will fit in the available memory. For example, you have a 6-page
job and you request 4 copies. Because the fourth page is complex and
consumes all available memory, only the first three pages fit in the printer’s
(or hard disk’s) available memory. The fifth and sixth pages are relatively
small. In this case, the printer divides this job into three segments and prints
in this manner:
