I noticed a “Collate” option while printing multiple pages and I’m not exactly sure what it does. Can someone explain what collate means in printing and when I should use it?

When printing multiple pages, collate means the printer keeps the pages in the correct order for each copy.
Example:
If your document has pages 1, 2, and 3, and you print 3 copies:
Collated:
1-2-3
1-2-3
1-2-3
Not collated:
1-1-1
2-2-2
3-3-3
Collate is helpful when printing reports, packets, or presentations because each set is already organized.
