Phaser 380 Color Printer
The number of pages that can be collated at one time depends on
these factors:
■ The number of hard disks attached to the printer.
■ Complexity of the pages to be collated.
According to these factors, the printer collates in sequential sets as many
pages as will Þt in the available disk space. For example, you have a
150-page job and you request 4 copies. Because the print job is very
complex, all of its description will not Þt on the hard disk. In this case, the
printer divides the job into two segments and prints in this manner:
Quick Collate and the Check Print option
When you use the Phaser 380 printerÕs Quick Collate option in combination
with the Check Print option, only the Þrst page of the Þrst set is printed
before pausing for review.
