Rules for configuring the system Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0

5.4Rules for configuring the system

This section describes the basic rules which must be observed when config- uring the Xprint V7.0 system; it does not cover the actual steps that are required. You should use these guidelines to check the configuration of your Xprint V7.0 system at regular intervals in order to maintain its performance.

5.4.1Defining an Xprint V7.0 domain

The print manager must define the Xprint V7.0 domain with respect to

the resources to be shared,

the number of hosts,

and some administration criteria.

Creating an Xprint V7.0 domain is always a compromise between

the maximum number of hosts administered to provide a maximum of print resources,

the assignment of administrative tasks concerning print resources to a person or association (e.g. resource locations, company strategy)

and a high number of hosts which might slow Xprint V7.0 down, so that there might be, say, a relatively long period of time between the submission and execution of a print job.
