166 Chapter 4 - Basic Workflows The Gallop function enables you to begin printing a defined number of pages before the entire job has been RIPed. This enables you to print and RIP concurrently. Gallop reduces the amount of time desired to RIP and print a job and is especially useful for long runs such as VI jobs. When combined with a deletion policy, Gallop enables you to free printer disk space. Gallop is not recommended for relatively small jobs, since the benefit of engaging the process is marginal, and the total production time will be shortened by only a few seconds. To set the gallop: ¾ Select Yes and enter the number of pages to RIP before starting to print. Note: The default number of pages to be RIPed before printing is 50. For complicated jobs using numerous shared elements, you can increase or decrease this number. The Paper Stock Tab The Paper Stock tab enables you to set paper stock-related job parameters. The Spire CXP8000 color server uses multiple paper stock parameters such as paper size, type, weight and coating to specify the paper stock. You may either select each parameter separately or select a complete paper set which already includes all parameters. If the selected paper set is unavailable, the current job is frozen until the appropriate set is available (the job receives a frozen status indicator, its line appears in blue and a message appears in the Alerts window). Other jobs can print while jobs are held.
