Collating Output
Collation is the printing of multiple copies of a document in numeric
order. The QMS 1660E Print System is collation capable. It can
deliver multiple copies of your document in collated or uncollated
order to the output tray.
The following figure shows collated and uncollated stacking for two
copies of a four-page file.
Advantages of Collation
The main advantages of collation are convenience and the time sav-
ings derived from not having to separate and sort individual copies of
a document. Each copy of the document exists as a whole unless
chunk collation has occurred.
Working with Chunk Collation
To collate a multiple-copy document, the printer must have enough
display list memory to hold the display list (R1) blocks for all pages in
the collation range. (See the “Memory” section of chapter 5, “Addi-
tional Technical Information,” in the
