User`s guide

Chunk collation breaks a print job into several smaller, more
manageable collation sequences. For example in figure 5.29, copies
“a” and “b” of each collation sequence must be manually combined
to create one collated print job.
If print jobs begin chunk collating well before 100 sheets, you may
want to increase the amount of collation disk space. See chapter 4,
“Administration / Disk Operations / Collation,” for more
information on configuring your printer for collation.
The main advantage of collation is user convenience and the time
savings derived from not having to separate and sort individual
copies of a print job. Each copy of the print job exists as a whole
unless chunk collation has occurred. There is no offset stacking
feature on your QMS 860 Print System, so it may be best to use a
header and trailer page for determining the beginning and end of
your print job. (See chapter 4, the “Administration / Special Pages”
section, for more information on how to print the header and trailer
pages.)
