Printing and queue management
Performance considerations
Optimum performance can be achieved for printing TIFF files by
following the guidelines listed below:
Use CCITT Group 4 compression for speed.
Use a resolution of 600 dpi to eliminate the need to scale the
image.
Use a TIFF orientation tag value of 8 to eliminate the need to
rotate the image.
Use single strip image data to eliminate additional image data
manipulations.
Use a value of 1 for Fill Order to eliminate additional image
data manipulations.
Using VIPP
To specify a job as a VIPP job, a start string is required. The
required start string can be automatically added using Print Server
functionality. This can be completed using the Command Line
Client, Queue Manager, and Job Properties.
To implement the VIPP Start feature, perform the following:
1.
Copy the VIPP startup file into /var/spool/XRXnps/vipp and
then restart the Print Server. The file must exist in this directory
and cannot be changed.
However, you can set a symbolic
link to other locations.
NOTE:
The startup file must end with a lowercase.ini extension
2.
In Queue Manager, create a print queue named VIPP. Change
the default document format from ASCII to PostScript. If this is
not done, all VIPP jobs runs as ASCII unless the data file
begins with “%!”.
3.
Select the PDF/PostScript tab, and select [Start File]. Browse
to the startup file and select this file.
The CACHE command stores a form across a single VIPP job so
only the first instance is a normal RIP. After the first RIP, the form
is called in the job and it is retrieved from hard disk in a format
natively understood by the IOT. VIPP CACHE is available for color
products only.
