Time used to transfer PDL
This variable is influenced by the speed of the network
connection between the client workstation and the DocuSP. It
is also impacted by the number of workstations on the
network, by the configuration of the network (that is, the
number and speed of the gateways and routers and by the
number of simultaneous network connections that the
DocuSP has to manage). Finally it is impacted by the
complexity of the pages being printed (i.e. the size of the PDL
files being transferred).

Time required to RIP PDL
This variable is influenced by the efficiency of the PDL to be
RIPed, the complexity of the pages being RIPped, the
number and resolution of images included, and the media/
color space transforms being performed on the data before
imaging/printing.

Time required to print PDL
This variable is influenced by the media being used and the
paper path through the printer. Whether the printing is face up
or down, simplex or duplex, all one size or a mix of sizes to
be drawn from different trays all make a difference. In
addition, the complexity of the pages and therefore the
number of Image Quality adjustments that the print engine
makes during a job also impact the final performance of the
printer as it generates paper.

Job submission hints
There are a number of ways to analyze the nature of the job
being submitted to optimize performance and maintain image
quality.
being submitted to optimize performance and maintain image
quality.
Number of images
The number and resolution of the images that are embedded
within a job is a big driver of the PDL size and therefore PDL
generation time, data transfer, spool, and RIP performance.
Minimizing the number and/or resolution of embedded
images improve performance.
