Mopier mode and collation
Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. The print driver performs
mopying, sending original print jobs to the device. Either the print driver or the document software
program controls collation.
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. 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.

Postscript Passthrough (PS Emulation Unidriver only)
Postscript Passthrough is enabled by default, and must be enabled for most print jobs. Postscript
passthrough provides additional capabilities for some software programs when printing to a postscript
driver. Options such as Watermarks, n-up and Booklet Printing might not print correctly from some
software programs with Postscript Passthrough enabled, because such programs send postscript
information that the device cannot control. Other programs might print using these options without
problems. Select Disabled and print the document again if you encounter problems.
NOTE In some cases, disabling Postscript Passthrough can cause unexpected results within
a software program.
