e-MPS
Note
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 installed in the printer. (FS-
8000CN is equipped with a hard disk as a standard feature.) For details, see
Options.
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:

Job Storage
Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you
click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer. If you
select Temporary or Permanent job storage, you can choose to have a unique number and
barcode automatically assigned to each job as it is stored in the printer. This barcode appears
on the printed document. The barcode reader can be used to reprint the document by reading
