Printer Hard Disk
When this option is enabled, the Job Storage option and the Mopier Mode are enabled in the print
driver. Use the Job Storage option 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
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 on 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 Color LaserJet 4700 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, HP PCL 5 Unidriver, or PS Emulation Unidriver, 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 the driver can still
perform 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 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 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.
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.
