You can set the device 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.

use one of the following methods to finish the job:
● Split the job into smaller jobs that contain fewer pages.
