							Changing the copy-collation setting
You can set the all-in-one to automatically collate multiple copies into sets. For example, if you are
making two copies of three pages and the automatic collation is on, the pages print in this order:
1,2,3,1,2,3. If automatic collation is off, the pages print in this order: 1,1,2,2,3,3.
To use the automatic collation, the original document size must  fit into the memory. If it does not, the
all-in-one makes only one copy and a message appears notifying you of the change. If that happens,
use one of the following methods to finish the job:
● Split the job into smaller jobs that contain fewer pages.
● Make only one copy of the document at a time.
● Turn off the automatic collation.
The collation setting you select is in effect for all copies until you change the setting.
