Mopy Job?!

The printer I normally use at work was acting a little strange this morning. I have no idea what this means.

Unable To Mopy Job

Insert obligatory (PG13) Office Space quote here.

    Is that a typo on the error writer’s part? What’s a mopy?

    The code means “Memory or file system failures would not allow a mopy job to occur. Only one copy will be produced.” I assume mopy refers to multiple copies, but then, I never knew what PC Load Letter meant either…

    You inspired me to research. From patentstorm.us:

    The term “Mopy” is short for a function often called “Multiple Original Copies”, “Multiple Original Prints”, or “Multiple Original Output”. A Mopy-enabled product produces “Mopies,” whereas a photocopier produces copies…To Mopy, a computer user, typically, sets an option to print a given number of copies of a document via an application or a printer driver interface. However, use of conventional non-mopied printers for Mopying can cause a slower return to applications for users as the computer generates multiple collated sets on the host, which results in higher network traffic as the file size increases.
