What does collated mean on the printer?
When a printer prints multiple pages of a document, it can take a bit longer if it's printing pages one at a time rather than all at once. If a printer is set to collated, it will print the pages of a multi-page document one after the other.
This can save time for the user if they have a large document to print. If your printer prints in color, it can be set to collate pages in color or black and white. Collated color printing is used for large projects or marketing materials, while black and white is typically used for text.

The collated printing option can be found under the advanced menu on your home printer. You select this option when you want to print multiple pages of a document on the same page. While you can use the regular printing option, having pages print one on top of the other is much faster.

What does collated mean on a laser printer?
A laser printer uses a laser to generate and transfer the image onto your page. The printer makes a single pass over the printing area, laying down black toner onto the page to form the image. If the page you are printing is multi-page, the printer will produce the pages serially.
If the pages are stapled together, the printer will collate the pages so that the pages are bound together in the order they were sent to the printer. A laser printer's collated printing option typically prints pages one at a time on the same sheet of paper. The pages will be in the same order as they were in the document, with no need to reorder them.
You can also use collated printing for multi-page documents.

Collated printing is a printing setting that merges the pages of a document together into one single sheet. There are two varieties of collated printing: standard collation and reverse collation. By default, most printers have standard collation turned on. If you have a color printer, you can set it to collate your output.
That means that after printing each page, the machine will continue to print the next page until you pause the printing process. If you have a black and white printer, you can set it to collate your output as well.

If a printer is set to collate, your pages will be stapled together. It's important to set this option when printing lengthy reports, legal documents, or any other items that will be bound together. If you don't set your printer to collate, pages may be trimmed or the document may not be able to be bound together correctly.
The collated printing function is a way for the printer to automatically reorder the pages of the document, based on their positions on the document. It does this in order to present the pages correctly after the printing job is finished. Also, modern printers usually have this feature.
