3.4 e-MPS

3.4e-MPS

e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System’ which implements the following functions that are available from the printer driver:

•Job Retention

•Job Storage

In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document are printed using the stored data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.

To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be installed in the printer. (FS- 8000CN is equipped with a hard disk as a standard feature.) For details, see Appendix A

Note Options.

Job Storage

Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer. If you select Temporary or Permanent job storage, you can choose to have a unique number and barcode automatically assigned to each job as it is stored in the printer. This barcode appears on the printed document. The barcode reader can be used to reprint the document by reading
