• Job Storage
3-12
Setting RAM Disk
Maintenance Messages
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 in-
stalled in the printer. For details, see
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
page 3-35
.
