1.1.3 Software
e-MPS
‘e-MPS’ is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing System,’ which is a
post-processing function that combines electronic sorting, job retention, and virtual
mailboxing.
When printing multiple copies of a document, the data is transferred from the computer to
the printer only for the first copy; the data is then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Copies of
the document are printed using the stored data.
Printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.
Furthermore, printed data that is stored on the hard disk can be called up using job retention
functions, such as Quick Copy etc., allowing you to quickly print additional copies of a
document from the printer at any time, without needing to re-spool the document or start up
the computer system.
Printer Control Language PRESCRIBE
The printer uses PRESCRIBE, Kyocera Mita’s page printer control language with enhanced
color graphics capabilities. The simple commands of PRESCRIBE allow the programmers
to easily define pagination and device control.
KPDL3 (Kyocera Printer Description Language 3)
The printer uses KPDL3, Kyocera’s implementation of the PostScript page description
language Level 3. The printer has 136 fonts that are compatible with Adobe PostScript
fonts. The printer also has 80 PCL fonts.
