Xerox 701P25032 用户手册

The time required to process a job can depend primarily on four 
variables: 

•

Time for a client workstation to generate the Page Description 
Language (PDL, i.e. PostScript, HP-PCL, TIFF, etc.).

•

Time to transfer the job PDL across the net and be marked as 
received by the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server.

•

Time required to RIP the PDL to produce the bit maps that the 
print engine can use.

•

Time required to write the RIPped bit maps to the print engine 
and generate paper.

This variable is strongly influenced by the speed of the client 
workstation, the print driver being used by the application, and the 
complexity of the pages to be printed.

This variable is influenced by the speed of the network connection 
between the client workstation and the Xerox FreeFlow Print 
Server. 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 Xerox FreeFlow Print 
Server 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). 

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.

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.
