2.2.3 e-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 in-

stalled in the printer. For details, see

Appendix A Option Units

.

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

Operating the RAM Disk on

page 3-35

.

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:
