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:
