The best way to do this is to attach carpet or a rubber mat to the base plate of your mechanical plate compactor. Then once the pavers are laid on your compacted sub-base in the pattern of your choice, you can do two to three passes with the compactor on top of the pavers. After each pass, sweep in more jointing sand, and then continue compacting.
