It refers to evening/balancing out the grind output in your pf, by tapping the spout usually on a rubber mat on the bench.
Most, if not all, grinders are right-clicking dosers, & conseqently will 9 times out of 10 sweep the amount of grind to the left of the pf when dosing (meaning an un-balanced peak of grind on the left of the pf, compared to the right). The cheaper ones also clump more in grind, requiring considerably more tap-tap collapsing! You need to balance/even out the grind in the pf after this (ie collapse the basket) by tapping the end of the spout/spouts on a surface after dosing.
Then, once evened, you tamp ...
Hope that helped mate.
