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.
