Hints and Tips

Job submission hints

There are a number of ways to analyze the nature of the job being submitted to optimize performance and maintain image quality.

Number of images

The number and resolution of the images that are embedded within a job is 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 improve performance.

PostScript preScan and full scan

Under PDL settings the operator has the option to prescan the first page of the job for DSC comments or to scan the full job before scheduling.

Normally the operator would click the [Basic] button, that is to scan the first page, when submitting a PostScript job. However, if the PostScript files are concatenated, the [Full] button should be used. This allows all the DSC comments to be scanned before the job is submitted.

PostScript factory settings

The Adobe factory settings have been updated to better reflect current technology and performance needs. The new settings have the greatest impact on VI workflow for the DT75, DT90, DT61xx and EPS printer families. The impact on the operator is that they no longer have to manually modify these parameters for their PS files.
