HP LaserJet M9040/M9050 MFP - Software Technical Reference (external)

The HP LaserJet M9040 MFP and HP LaserJet M9050 MFP supports the transmit-once mopying feature
when the Mopier Mode setting on the Device Settings tab is Enabled.
Use the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or PS emulation driver to perform mopying in one of two ways: either through
the software or through the product hardware. When the Mopier Mode setting is enabled, mopying
takes place through the product hardware by default. One copy of a multiple-page print job is transmitted
once through the network to the product, together with a printer job language (PJL) command directing
the product to make the specified number of copies.
When the Mopier Mode setting is disabled, mopying is not necessarily disabled. The driver can perform
through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is disabled when you
change the Mopier Mode setting to the Disabled option). However, sending a multiple-copy print job
when the Mopier Mode setting is disabled eliminates the advantage of transmitting the print job once,
because the job is sent through the network for each copy.
Mopier mode and collation
NOTE: Disabling Mopier Mode disrupts functionality for the Output and Finishing tab features.
Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. The printer driver
performs mopying, sending original print jobs to the product. The printer driver or the document software
program control collation. The Mopier Mode setting is enabled by default in the driver, and can be
disabled by changing the Mopier Mode setting on the Device Settings tab to the Disabled option.
Control collation through the printer driver by selecting or clearing the Collated check box on the
Advanced tab. Clear the check box, which is available only when the Copy Count option is set to more
than 1 copy, to allow the software program to control collation.
To receive uncollated multiple copies of a print job, you must clear the Collated check box and make
sure that the software program collation feature is not selected.
The following table shows the relation between Mopier Mode settings and collation settings in the
software program and the driver. The first three columns show the settings. The last column, "Expected
result", shows how a 3-page print job would appear.

Postscript Passthrough (PS Emulation driver only)
Postscript Passthrough is enabled by default, and must be enabled for most print jobs. Postscript
passthrough provides additional capabilities for some software programs when printing to a postscript
