HP LaserJet 6P/ 6MP Printers

The HP LaserJet 6P and 6MP printers are similar to the LaserJet 5P and 5MP printers, with the addition of higher performance and faster print speed (up to 8 ppm). The PCL 5 feature set is identical to the LaserJet 5P/5MP printers, with the exception that the LaserJet 6P/6MP printers support some additional paper sizes (A5, JIS B5, JIS B4, and Oufuku-Hagaki postcards).

The HP LaserJet 6MP printer also includes the Adobe PostScript Level 2 printer language with 35 additional built-in PostScript fonts.

HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier

Note

The HP LaserJet 5Si Mopier combines the performance and network strengths of the LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx printers with the ability to print, collate, and staple multiple copies of a document. The LaserJet 5Si Mopier has the same PCL feature set as the LaserJet 5Si/5Si printers, but allows you to download a document just once and then print as many originals as you need.

Multiple-original printing (“mopying”) and stapling is accomplished using PJL commands. The application soft- ware, using PJL commands, determines to which output bin the printed copy will be delivered. If the stapling bin is selected, the job is automatically stapled.

Multiple mopies are produced using the PJL SET QTY command. In order for the mopier to produce more than one original of a print job, the PCL number of copies command (?&l#X) must not be included in the data stream, since this command will limit the job to one copy or produce multiple uncollated copies.

See the PJL Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual for a PJL example of printing to the mopier.
