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.

To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be in-

stalled in the printer. For details, see

Appendix D Option

Units

.

Q

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:

*Jobs in excess will cause the earlier ones to be deleted.
