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.
• To use the e-MPS system, an option 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 Activating the RAM Disk on page 1-81 for details on
RAM disk setup.

selected when you choose on the printer driver through the application
