The meaning of the word collate is to collect, arrange and assemble in a specific order of sequence. In printing terminology, it is to assemble multiple sheets or parts together to create a set. Collating is most commonly used in the preparation of booklets, catalogs, manuals & collated color copies.

Say you are printing something that will be five pages, and you need three copies. If you select the collate option, it will print your documents in order, one by one. So, rather than printing all of the page 1's together, instead, it will print pages 1-5, and repeat this three times.

Collate means to collect and assemble printed sheets of paper within a predetermined order or sequence. Typically, all the pages in the document will print once. Once complete, the machine will repeat the process by printing a second set.

Collated prints the pages in consecutive order. It finishes one copy of the entire document before printing the next copy. Uncollated prints all copies of a page before printing copies of the next page.

Should I collate pages? You should use collated printing if you print more than one document copy. This will make it easier to keep each copy in a separate pile, and easier to bind them together later on.

Collated documents ensure that each copy is a complete set and ready for distribution or binding. On the other hand, when printing single-page documents or materials that do not require multiple copies in a specific order, collation may not be necessary.

If you use File > Print > Print All Documents, Acrobat prints the first file collated (if you select the Collate option), then proceeds to the second file and prints all pages (again collated).

What Does Collated Printing Mean? Collate printing means when printing more than one copy of a multi-page document, pages are printed in the correct order from the first page to the last page, before the next copy is printed.

What does it mean to 'collate'? Collate means to collect and assemble printed sheets of paper within a predetermined order or sequence. Typically, all the pages in the document will print once.
