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 (HD-10) must be installed in the
printer.
•
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
RAM Disk on page
3-46.
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:
