HP LaserJet 9050 - Software Technical Reference (External)

Printer Hard Disk
When this option is enabled, the Job Storage option and the Mopier Mode are enabled in the print
driver. The Job Storage option allow you to store print jobs, and then print them later from the
control panel. The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces
multiple, collated copies from a single print job.
Job Storage
If your HP LaserJet 9050 printer is equipped with a hard disk drive, the Job Storage option should
be enabled and all job storage options are available. If your HP LaserJet 9050 printer is not equipped
with a hard disk drive but has a minimum of 48 MB of memory, limited job storage options are
available. When job storage is enabled, the product can store print jobs so that you can gain access
to those print jobs later at the control panel.
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 printer once, and then storing it in the printer
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 HP LaserJet 9050 printer supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the product has an
installed hard disk or a minimum total memory of 48 MB, and the Mopier Mode: setting on the
Device Settings tab is Enabled.
When you use the HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5e, or PS Emulation Driver, mopying is performed in one of
two ways, either through the software or through the product hardware. When the mopier 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 you disable the mopier, you are not necessarily disabling mopying, which can still be
performed by the driver through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path
that is disabled when you change the Mopy Mode setting to Disabled). However, a multiple-copy
print job sent with the mopier disabled loses the advantage of transmitting the print job once, since
the print job is sent through the network as many times as the number of copies selected.
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.
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.
