Common Controller 10-3
Time required to print PDL
This component is influenced by the media being used and the
paper path through the printer. Whether the printing is face up or
down, simplex or duplex, all one size or a mix of sizes to be
drawn from different trays all make a difference. In addition, the
complexity of the pages and therefore the number of Image
Quality Adjustments that the print engine makes during a job
also impact the final performance of the printer as it generates
paper.
Job submission hints
Number of images
The number and resolution of the images that are embedded
within a job will be a big driver of the PDL size and therefore PDL
generation time, data transfer, spool and RIP performance.
Minimizing the number and/or resolution of embedded images
will improve performance.
Ethernet
To keep the network from becoming over loaded with jobs when
several clients are simultaneously submitting and printing, it is
important to have a fairly fast ethernet (100BaseT or faster).
Gateways
If a user has all of the DocuSP gateways installed and active,
performance will be less than expected because the work
required to monitor each added gateway and potential client
connection will consume a small portion of the available CPU
time. If this is a problem, you may wish to remove gateways not
being used (i.e. lpr, IPP, SNMP, HTTP, Novell, Appletalk or Token
Ring), keeping only those that are needed.
