Barcode Reader
With the hard disk option (see below) installed, you can take the advantage of the MPS (Multiple Print System). The barcode reader then allows you to recursively print the jobs cached in the hard disk by reading the barcode printed on the printed job. For more information, refer to the Instruction Handbook supplied with the barcode reader.
Installing the Hard Disk Drive Option
The printer can be optionally installed with a hard disk drive. Once the hard disk is installed, the printer can temporarily or permanently cache the print jobs in the hard disk so that you can print multiple collated copies quickly or take the advantage of the barcode reader system. (See the preceding section.)
Installing the hard disk drive option requires removal of the main controller board and mounting the hard disk on it and therefore requires a qualified technician. See your dealer from which the printer is purchased for installing the hard disk.
