Collate and Rotating Collate  
If you select the collate function on the printer driver, the machine will store  
print data in memory and automatically collate the printouts.  
The collate function can be turned on or off from the printer driver. The machine  
automatically rotates the printouts under the following conditions:  
When using A4, 81/2×11 or B5 JIS paper  
Paper with the same size and different orientations (e.g., A4K in Tray 1 and
