Productivity and performance problems

If a job takes longer to process than anticipated and a performance problem is suspected, perform the following to check the system:

1.Check the job status in the Job Manager window.

2.If the job status is Hold, select [Release] to process the job.

3.If the job is Ripping, check the performance meter. If the CPU activity is high, the decomposer is working. If this is not true, restart the DocuSP software.

4.Submit the job to a draft printer to determine if the master is valid.

5.Check the time on the decomposer that is working on the job. For example, if the job is a PostScript job, type the following in a Terminal Window:

ps -aegrep ps_cdf

The system will return a time value along with the process ID of the PostScript decomposers that are running. Wait, then repeat the command. If the time displayed is increasing, then the job is Ripping.

For a PCL job, type:

ps -aegrep pcl_cdf

For a TIFF job, type:

ps -aegrep tiff_cdf

6. If problems still persist, contact the Customer Support Center.
