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.
Note :
To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be installedin the printer. For
details, See “Microdrive (Hard Disk)/CompactFlash (Memory) Card”, page 4-6
The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. See
“Using the RAM Disk”, page 3-48 for details on RAM disk setup.
Job Retention
Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected
from the printer driver through the application software:
