Mopier Mode
NOTE This feature requires at least 128 MB of RAM.
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 printer once. 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 HP Color LaserJet 2605 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 Unidriver or the PS Emulation Unidriver, mopying is performed in one of
two ways: either through the software or through the printer hardware. When the mopier is enabled,
mopying takes place through the printer hardware by default. One copy of a multiplepage print job is
transmitted once through the network to the printer, together with a printer job language (PJL) command
directing the printer to make the specified number of copies.
When you disable the mopier, you are not necessarily disabling mopying, which the driver can still
perform through the software rather than the printer hardware (the mopying path that is disabled when
you change the
Mopier Mode setting to Enabled ). 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 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 printer, 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.
You can control collation through the print driver by selecting or clearing the Collated check box on the
Advanced tab. 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.
PostScript Passthrough (PS Emulation Unidriver only)
PostScript Passthrough is enabled by default, and must be enabled for most print jobs. This option
provides additional capabilities for some software programs when printing to a Postscript driver.
Options such as watermarks, n-up printing, and booklet printing might not print correctly from some
software programs when PostScript Passthrough is enabled because such programs send Postscript
information to the printer that the driver cannot control. Other software programs might print using these
options without problems.
If you encounter problems while printing, select Disabled and print your document again. In some cases,
disabling PostScript Passthrough might cause unexpected behavior in the software program.
