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 (HD-10) must be installed in the printer.

Note

As an alternative to a hard disk, the RAM disk may be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. To activate the RAM disk in the printer, see Using the RAM Disk on page 3-46.

Job retention

Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected when you choose on the printer driver through the application software:
