Performance Considerations

ŸThe quality of 3130 output is affected by the paper you use

composition of the logical pages you print. To ensure printing legib application, test small (4-point) fonts and special characters such

your application. ReferIBMto Advancedthe Function Printer Cut-Sheet Paper Referencefor information about these considerations.

ŸThe following factors affect the performance of the system and d

communication to the 3130:

–

Speed of the computer system

–

Amount of

available

memory

–

Priority of tasks assigned in the system

–

Control program used to drive the printer

–

Attachment

type and

line speed.

Ÿ Consider the following when setting up your host-attachment configurat

–Before attaching the 3130 to non-IBM equipment, ensure that the equipment supports the 3130. The equipment vendor can answer you

questions about configuration options and other attachment issues.

– High-speed, direct-access storage devices (DASD) are recommended spool data sets and library data sets, particularly for printin consisting of documents with many fonts and images.

– Printer performance is best when high-use devices are used on attachment from the 3130. Printer throughput can be degraded i is attached with other high-use devices such as disk units, t another 3130 that prints complex documents.
