66-3 Maintaining optimal performance

Reduce the number of printed pages by choosing not to print a cover page by default unless you need cover pages for recordkeeping

Printing cover pages by default is a PS Setup option.

Leave some jobs that are less urgent to times when there is less network traffic or printing

Recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent can be printed to the Hold queue. At low-traffic times, the administrator can move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue for printing.

Reduce unnecessary two-way communication

Large numbers of remote users using the Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, may have a significant effect on GA-1040 performance.

• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the GA-1040

Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs being retained in the Printed queue.

An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed and Hold queues. Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the GA-1040 is frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) and elect not to publish the Hold queue (in Printer Setup).

To move or remove queued jobs, use Fiery WebSpooler. When you free up disk space by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.

An internal hard drive upgrade may be available. Check with your service representative for more information.
