Chapter 1 Using the Operator Panel1-35To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be in-stalled in the printer. For details, see Appendix B Option Units.e-MPS is an abbreviation for ‘enhanced-Multiple PrintingSystem’ which implements the following functions that areavailable from the printer driver:• Job Retention• Job StorageIn either job mode, when printing a document, the print datais transferred from the computer to the printer then stored onthe printer’s Microdrive. Since copies of the document areprinted using the stored data, printing is performed fasterwith less computer spooling time and less network traffic.Job RetentionJob Retention has four modes as summarized below. Thesemodes are selected when you choose on the printer driverthrough the application software:*Jobs in excess will cause the earlier ones to be deleted.Job StorageJob storage stores print jobs either temporarily or perma-nently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate ra-dio button on the printer driver when printing from acomputer.Virtual MailboxVirtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobson the Microdrive without printing. It enables you to retrievejobs later from the operator panel, or the KM-NET Job Man-ager utility (in the CD-ROM).Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires toshare the printer in this mode. By default, each mailbox isnumbered from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’... etc. To ‘post’ a job inone of these mailboxes, you assign a numbered mailbox on theprinter driver when printing.Up to 255 virtual mailboxes can be used and the number ofjobs stored in each box is not limited. You can store as manyjobs as the hard disk can hold.To retrieve the stored job for printing, see Printing DataStored in Virtual Mailbox (VMB) on page 1-39.e-MPSNOTEe-MPSQuick Copy Proof-and-HoldPrimary function To later printadditional copiesTo proof the firstcopy beforeprinting multiplecopiesStart storing by Printer driver Printer driverOn terminatingprint setting fromapplicationsoftwarePrintssimultaneouslyPrints one copysimultaneouslyRetrieved by Operator panel Operator panelDefault number ofcopies printed atretrievalSame as storing(can be changed)One less(can be changed)Maximum numberof jobs stored*32, expandable to5032, expandable to50PIN security No NoData after printing Stored StoredData at power off Deleted DeletedPrivate Print Stored JobPrimary function To hold thedocument inprinter to preventunauthorizedaccessTo electronicallystore documentssuch as fax coverpagesStart storing by Printer driver Printer driverOn terminatingprint setting fromapplicationsoftwareDoes not print Does not printRetrieved by Operator panel Operator panelDefault number ofcopies printed atretrievalSame as storing(can be changed)OneMaximum numberof jobs stored*Depends on thehard disk capacity(Private jobs aredeletedautomatically onceit is retrieved.)Depends on thehard disk capacityPIN security Yes Yes (if necessary)Data after printing Deleted StoredData at power off Deleted StoredNOTE
