Collate is a printing term that refers to how printed pages are arranged and combined as they print. When printing multiple-page documents, collating arranges the printed pages in a specific order, assembling each set of pages in the correct sequence, rather than printing each page individually. Collated printing is useful when printing more than one copy of a large document that needs to be kept in the right order so they can be handed out. Collated print jobs save time and provide convenience and accuracy, especially when organizing multi-page documents like reports, presentations, manuals, and invoices. The collate option is normally ticked by default, but it is optional, so when pressing print, check to see if collating has been selected in the options menu. Enabling or disabling collation depends on your client’s operating system and your printer software, but generally speaking, access the print settings or print dialogue box, find the collate option, and toggle it on or off.
