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, the standard hard disk must be installed in the printer. For details, see Appendix A Options.

Note

•The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. See Using the RAM Disk on page 3-67for details on RAM disk setup.
