Collating Multiple
A-42 Feature Support
Multiple "mopies" of a job can be printed by sending the
@PJL SET QTY command, followed by one copy of the job.
Copies
This saves network traffic because only one copy must be
sent to the printer. The printer stores the job on the
internal disk drive and then prints the desired number of
collated copies without additional downloading.
In order to print multiple copies of the job this way, it is
important that the print job not include the printer
language's number of copies command in the data stream
(such as the PCL command ?&l#X). These commands
produce uncollated copies.
Note
When printing multiple copies of a job, use the @PJL SET
QTY as early as possible in the job. If the printer does
not detect that a job is to be mopied by the end of the
formatting of the second page (to allow for one banner
page), the job will not be mopied.
The following example would print 5 collated, stapled
copies of a print job.
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "Job #12345" <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT *** Set Mopies to 5 *** <CR><LF>
@PJL SET QTY = 5 <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT ** Send to stapler bin **<CR><LF>
@PJL SET FINISH = STAPLE
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E ... PCL print data ... <ESC>E
