Mopier Mode
The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces multiple, collated
copies from a single print job. Multiple-original printing (mopying) increases performance and reduces
network traffic by transmitting the job to the product once and then storing it in memory or on the hard
disk. The remainder of the copies are printed at the fastest speed. All documents that are printed in
mopier mode can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the computer, which eliminates
the extra step of using a photocopier.
The product supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device
Settings tab is Enabled.
When you use the HP PCL 6 Print Driver, mopying is performed in one of two ways: either through the
software or through the product hardware. When Mopier Mode: is enabled, mopying takes place
through the product hardware. 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 you disable mopying, you are not necessarily disabling multiple collated copies, which the driver
can still perform through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is disabled
when you change the Mopier Mode: setting to Disabled). However, a multiple-copy print job that is
sent when the mopier is disabled loses the advantage of transmitting the print job once, because the
job is sent through the network for each collated copy.
Mopier mode and collation
Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. Mopying, the ability to
send original print jobs to the product, is performed by the print driver. Collating can be controlled by
either the print driver or the document software program. The mopying mode is selected by default in
the driver and can be disabled by changing the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device Settings tab to
Disabled.
Control collation through the print driver by selecting or clearing the Collated check box on the
Advanced tab. Click Copy Count under the Paper Output setting. You can 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 three-page print job would appear.
