Ethernet
To keep the network from becoming over loaded with jobs 
when several clients are simultaneously submitting and 
printing, it is important to have a fairly fast ethernet 
(100BaseT or faster).
Gateways
If a user has all of the DocuSP gateways installed and active, 
performance are less than expected because the work 
required to monitor each added gateway and potential client 
connection consumes a small portion of the available CPU 
time. If this is a problem, you may wish to remove gateways 
not being used (i.e. lpr, IPP, SNMP, HTTP, Novell, Appletalk 
or Token Ring), keeping only those that are needed.
Job submission order
Job submission order can impact performance. It is 
suggested that a job with many pages to be RIPped and a 
large number of copies should be submitted at the end of the 
day if possible. With the printer paused, the job can then RIP 
over night. The job then starts printing at the beginning of the 
next day and while it is printing, the DocuSP can process a 
complex/difficult job that takes a long time to RIP. As long as 
the previous job is still printing when the next job finishes 
RIPing, the DocuSP can RIP still another job to get even 
further ahead. In this way, the print engine itself  is never idle 
waiting for a hard job to finish RIP.
