You can initialize the printer with the following, assuming a pcl printer

  61      ◄                            ◄
  62      ◄   $1b266c3158              ◄ * Copies - 1
  63      ◄   $1b266c3258              ◄ * Copies - 2
  64      ◄   $1b266c3358              ◄ * Copies - 3

This leaves the processing table alone and lets the printer do the work.

Remember to reset the printer back to 1 copy when finished, or do a reset.
