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, the standard hard disk must be installed in the printer.
For details, see

Appendix A Options

•

The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes.
See

Using the RAM Disk on page 3-67

for details on RAM disk setup.
