2.2.3 e-MPS

e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing Sys- tem’ 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 us- ing the stored data, printing is performed faster with less compu- ter spooling time and less network traffic.

NOTE

To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be in- stalled in the printer. For details, see Appendix D Option Units.
