What Is Collating, What Does It Mean?
Collating is the process of organizing printed or digital documents so that pages are arranged in a desired order. For example, if you’re printing three copies of a five-page document, choosing to collate will output the pages as 1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3-4-5, 1-2-3-4-5. Without collating, you’d instead receive all page 1s first, then all page 2s, and so on—resulting in stacks sorted by page rather than by set. Collation is crucial for keeping multi-page documents intact and readable, especially for presentations, reports, booklets, and other materials where page sequence matters.
