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, an optional hard disk must be installed
in the printer. For details, refer to Options on page 4-1. 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, refer to
Operating the RAM Disk on page 2-70.

selected when you choose on the printer driver through the application
