1.2.8 Hard Disk Drive

0017-8472

Each print job received from the host computer is saved to the hard disk drive(serial ATA connection) attached to the printer, so the printer can print the job repeat-

edly as needed, without having to wait for its retransmission from the host computer.

Saving print jobs will offer the following benefits:

- Eased computer workload

A print job may be automatically preserved to the hard disk when printing or may be preserved to the hard disk without printing. A print job preserved can be

printed in as many copies as needed without having to use the host computer.

- Reprinting after error occurrence

If the printer encounters errors, such as paper out, while printing a print job, it can resume the print operation as soon as the errors are cleared, without needing its

retransmission from the host computer.

- Higher print work efficiency

Print jobs can be printed selectively or in a specified number of copies without using a host computer. Multiple print jobs can be printed batched. Unattended print

operations in the nighttime are also possible.
