How to Fix a Printer Only Printing One Copy Instead of Multiple Copies

Question

How do I fix a printer that won't print multiple copies?

Answer

Mopier mode (a printer setting) is probably enabled on a printer that doesn't have an EIO hard disk installed. If the printer does have an EIO hard disk, it is OK to have this setting turned on. To fix this, perform the following steps in Windows:

Windows 11

  1. Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu.
  2. Select Devices and Printers.
  3. Right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
  4. Click the Device Settings tab.
  5. Scroll down to Mopier Mode and change it to Disabled.

Windows 10

  1. Click Settings from the Start Menu.
  2. Click Devices.
  3. Click Printers & scanners from the left menu.
  4. Click on the printer with the issue and click Manage.
  5. Click Printer Properties from the left menu.
  6. Click Device Settings tab.
  7. Scroll down to Mopier Mode and change to Disabled.

Windows 7

  1. Open Control Panel from Start Menu.
  2. Choose Devices and Printers.
  3. Right click the printer and choose Printer Properties.
  4. Click Device Settings tab.
  5. Scroll down to Mopier Mode and change to Disabled
