Virtual Mail Box (VMB)
The Virtual Mail Box (VMB) function is a mail box function for the printer which does not require a
physical mail box to be attached to the printer. The virtual mail box function can be used when RAM
DISK mode is
On
or when an optional hard disk unit is installed on the printer. This manual describes
how to use the virtual mail box with a RAM DISK.
With a virtual mail box, unlike a physical mailbox, data sent from the computer is stored in the RAM
DISK as rasterized data. This stored data accumulates in a numbered virtual output tray. When it is
time to actually print the data, it is printed by specifying the virtual output tray number where the data is
stored using the printer's control panel or an optional barcode reader.
Note______________________________________________________________________
If all the data in a virtual output tray is printed, all data in that tray will be deleted. If printing is halted by
pressing the
CANCEL
key during printing, data in that tray will not be deleted. Data is not deleted unless
all data in the virtual output tray is printed.
·
Locked mailbox
Allowing a password to be set for the virtual output tray, this feature makes the printout of
confidential documents easy.
·
Multilevel mailbox
Supporting up to 255 virtual output trays, mail boxes can be allocated at the individual level rather
than by the user's job title or group.
·
Large capacity mailbox
There is no limit on the size per virtual output tray. Since the only limit is on the total size of all
trays, all of the RAM DISK can be used.
