The DFC-12 can collate 12 sheets and the DFC-10 can collate 10 sheets.
By connecting two DFC-12 (DFC-10) machines, up to 24 (20) sheets can be collated.
The following four collation methods are available.
Normal mode: Collates paper on the bins from the top tray in order and ejects as one set.

to separate the collated sets.
Block mode: Divides the paper on the bins into the upper half block and lower half block and
collates paper.
