Option e-MPS > What is e-MPS? `e-MPS' is an abbreviation for `enhanced-Multiple Printing System,' which is a post-processing function that combines electronic sorting, job retention, virtual mailboxing, and a barcode printing system for job retrieval. 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 printerís 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 Microdrive 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. Job Retention Job Retention is part of the e-MPS system, allowing you to save print jobs to the option Microdrive and retrieve them out as desired in one of four different modes. When printing, select a Job Retention mode using the printer driver. The following four modes are available: · Quick Copy · Proof and Hold · Private Print · Job Storage For details, refer to the Printer Driver Guide. 1-18 Using the Operator Panel Four Job Retention modes have the following benefits: · Quick Copy: When you need another copy of a finished print job, you can print it out at the printer operator panel. There is no need to print from the computer again. · Proof and Hold: When printing multiple copies, this mode first prints only one copy for proofing, allowing you to decide whether to continue printing the remaining copies or cancel printing at the operator panel. In this way, you can reduce the waste of paper. · Private Print: Confidential print jobs can be printed out when you are at the printer. This mode saves print jobs in the printer without printing until you instruct the printer to do so at the operator panel. Printing using this mode requires the 4-digit PIN number you set using the printer driver. · Stored Job: This mode allows you to store print jobs that are frequently needed, such as fax cover pages, checklists, and order forms, for printing later. Using the operator panel, you can then print them out as required at anytime and at any number of copies. 1-19 Using the Operator Panel Virtual Mail Box Virtual mailbox is the ability to store print jobs in the virtual mailboxes on the Microdrive, enabling you to retrieve and print it later from the printer's operator panel or the option barcode reader (BC-1). You can later print out only the jobs you desire using the operator panel on the printer. Code Job This function allows you to print jobs stored on the Microdrive using the option barcode reader. When printing, select a type of code job at the printer driver. The following two types of code jobs are available: · Permanent Code Job · Temporary Code Job For details, refer to the Printer Driver Guide. You can print out frequently needed print jobs, such as fax cover pages, checklists, and order forms, using the option barcode reader. If you store a print job and print it out with a barcode ID attached, you can print that job any time later by simply reading the barcode ID. You can print a list of code jobs at the operator panel. When the storage memory becomes insufficient, temporary code jobs will be automatically deleted in order from the oldest. Permanent code jobs will not be deleted. 1-20 Using the Operator Panel Quick Copy >Quick Copy This mode enables you to print additional copies of a finished print job. If you print a Quick Copy using the printer driver, it is printed and stored on the Microdrive. If additional copies are required, you can reprint the required number of copies from the printer operator panel. The default number of print jobs that can be stored on the Microdrive is 32. This can be changed to up to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration menu. When the number of jobs reaches the limit, the oldest job will be overwritten by the new one. When the printer is turned off, all the stored jobs will be deleted. Printing Additional Copies by Quick Copy When printing, make the Quick Copy settings using the printer driver. For how to make the settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide. 1 MENU Press the MENU key. 2 Press the or key repeatedly until e-MPS > appears. e-MPS > 3 ?

The message display displays Processing and the print job is deleted. 1-23 Using the Operator Panel Proof and Hold When printing multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy so that you can check it before continuing to print the remaining copies. Since you can check the printouts before printing the remaining copies, the waste of paper can be reduced. Make the Proof and Hold settings using the printer driver and print. The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job to the Microdrive. Use the operator panel to print the remaining copies. You can also change the number of copies when resuming printing using the operator panel. Printing Remaining Copies of a Proof and Hold Use the same procedure as that for Quick Copy. See Quick Copy on page 1-21. 1-24 Using the Operator Panel Printing a Private Job or Stored Job To use this mode, an option Microdrive must be installed in the printer. Option >Private/stored The printer holds the job mode secures confidentiality of the print job. Private or Stored Job mode. The printer holds the jobs in Microdrive until you release it using the printer's operator panel. You can specify the document and the number of copies to print from the printer operator panel.
