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 Hard Disk on page 3-9.
The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. Refer to Using the
RAM Disk on page 2-48 for details on RAM disk setup.
Job Retention
Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected from the printer
driver through the application software:
Job Storage
Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click
an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer.
Virtual Mailbox
Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the hard disk without printing. It
enables you to retrieve jobs later from the operation panel.
Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share the printer in this mode. By
default, each mailbox is numbered from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’... etc. To ‘post’ a job in one of these
mailboxes, you assign a numbered or named mailbox on the printer driver when printing.
