Reconfiguring Your Printer Improving Throughput in the HP DesignJet 3500CP printer Improving Throughput in the HP DesignJet 3500CP printer There are many factors that affect the performance of your printer. Shown below are some settings that you may change in order to get the best performance. Background printing (Macintosh only) Using background printing penalizes the performance of the printer, the less powerful your Macintosh is, the longer the sending time will be. Queueing If queueing is set to ON, the first file to be printed will take longer than if queuing is turned off, but the subsequent jobs will be faster with queuing ON because then the incoming jobs can be processed while the previous one is being printed. This means that if you send only one job and you want to get it printed as fast as possible, it is better to set queueing to OFF. See page 7-5, Managing Pages not yet Printed (the Queue) Ink Emulation Using ink emulation increases the time to process a file because all of the colors in the file are converted. To improve speed, use ink emulation at the setting Enhanced Native; see page 9-2, Selecting the Ink Emulation Mode. File coding Many applications allow you to use Binary or ASCII encoding to send the images. Select Binary whenever possible, since Binary is a lot faster than ASCII in sending the images to the printer. 8-14
