When trying to print multiple copies of a document, the printing will stop and printed on the output sheet is the following:
URF Error- [URF]Decoding Fail
Position: 0x1 (1)
System: emul/URF/URF-dec
Line: 371
Version SPL_V10.48.01 09-17-2015
Error Code: 11-1114
Have searched the internet extensively on this and have not found anything.

I think that URF (Ultra Fast Response?) is a proprietary printer language (originally define by Canon?), and is only supported on some devices.
As far as I can make out, the processing of a page of (source application) data into a raster image is performed on the PC (rather than being transformed into a 'traditional' printer language like PCL5 or PCL XL or PostScript, which is then converted into a raster image by the printer).
I don't think that the format of the URF raster data is published anywhere publicly, and even if it was, the error message you quote almost certainly refers to positions and lines within the source code of the firmware interpreter in the printer, so only the manufacturer can interpreter the message.

Thanks for the thoughts, Dan. Unfortunately, there is still no solution to my dilemmna. Let me give a little more background on what I'm doing when this error comes up....
I'm printing from my Mac (all latest OS updates and drivers). I've had this error pop up 3 times now: Once when printing my taxes from a TaxACT pdf. Another when printing from a "Numbers" app document (Apple's version of Excel) of names scattered over multiple pages. And finally, from a Pages (Apple's version of Word) document that I converted into a pdf before printing.
As you can see, I'm not using any printing out of the ordinary, nor do I have anything raster-based. This URF error appears only on multiple page print-outs. Usually around page 3-4 it'll print the page with that error and then stop the entire print out.
There is a work-around by printing pages in a selection of pages, but this gets very tedious and I'd like for there not to be an error.
I'm thinking because of the multiple page issue, that it's memory based? Perhaps a bad chip? Thoughts??

I don't use Mac systems, and I know next to nothing about URF.
I very much doubt that the problem is memory or 'chip' based.
It is much more likely that the printer is receiving data which it (i.e. the URF interpreter in the firmware) considers to be invalid in some way.
Perhaps a driver fault (what is generated and sent to the printer is invalid);
... or perhaps it is being corrupted somehow between host workstation and printer (bad connection?);
... or perhaps there is a logic error in the firmware (check for updates).
Other than that , I don't think that I can offer any more pertinent advice, sorry.
