For a multiple copy document with collation On, there must be enough display list
memory to hold the display list blocks for all pages in the collation range. (For more
information on Display List blocks, see “Display List” in chapter 3, “Additional Technical
Information,” in the
Reference manual.) If there’s not enough memory, then a collation
boundary is forced after the last compiled page of the collation range.

This mechanism of introducing a forced boundary—or breaking a document down into
several smaller, more manageable sets—is known as chunk collation. For example, in
the following illustration, copies “a” and “b” of each set must be manually combined to
create one collated document. The order of printing is copy 1(a), copy 2(a), copy 3(a),
copy 4(a), copy 1(b), copy 2(b), copy 3(b), and copy 4(b).
»Note:
If chunk collation occurs, you may want to enable header and trailer pages to
help you determine the beginning and end of each collated sequence.

To avoid chunk collation, your printer must have sufficient memory to store an entire
document before printing begins. Of course, this always depends on the size of your
print job versus the amount of available memory in your printer. The QMS 3260/4032
with 32 MB or more of memory can fully collate most print jobs.
To improve collation performance, which allows you to collate longer and more complex
print jobs on your printer, you can do one of the following:
