2.2.3 e-MPS
e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple Printing Sys-
tem’ 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 us-
ing the stored data, printing is performed faster with less compu-
ter spooling time and less network traffic.
To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be in-
stalled in the printer. For details, see Appendix D Option
Units.
