Finishing Menu Use the Finishing Menu to specify the final output of your jobs, including the number of copies, whether you want to insert separator pages between jobs, and how many page images you want to print on each sheet of paper. Finishing Menu Menu item Copies Values 1*...999 Blank Pages The Copies setting determines the number of copies printed for each page. The printer does not automatically collate the copies printed. For example, if you send a three-page job to print and set Copies to 2, the printer prints page 1, page 1, page 2, page 2, page 3, page 3. Note: Selecting the number of copies from the operator panel changes the printer default and affects all subsequent jobs. Do Not Print* Print Collation Set Blank Pages to Print to include application-generated blank pages with your print job. Off* On *Factory default Set Collation On to collate multiple copies of a job. For example, if you send a three-page job to print and set Copies to 2, the printer prints page 1, page 2, page 3, page 1, page 2, page 3. When Collation is Off, the printer prints each page of a job the number of times specified by the Copies setting. For example, if you send a three-page job to print and set Copies to 2, the printer prints page 1, page 1, page 2, page 2, page 3, page 3. Many applications collate multiple copies of a print job by repeatedly sending the job to the printer, until the correct number of copies has printed. If Copies is set to 2, for example, the printer actually processes the same job twice. However, if you set Collation On from the printer operator panel or from MarkVision, the printer processes the file only once, saves the file in printer memory (or in the optional hard disk, if installed), and then prints the specified number of copies. This saves processing time for the printer and the application, and may reduce overall printing time. For Collation to work effectively, your software application must recognize this printer feature and not send the job to the printer multiple times. Your application must also let you specify the number of copies needed or recognize the printer default setting for Copies. You can select Collation from the printer operator panel or from the printer driver. For best results, select Collated in the printer driver and set the number of copies to one. In your application, select Uncollated (if the option is available) and the number of copies you want. If the job is complex or exceeds the printer's storage capacity, you may receive an Insufficient Collation Area message. Press Go to clear the message. The printer collates the remaining pages in memory. If you reset the printer, the printer discards the job. 22 Chapter 2: Changing printer settings
