Send Once, RIP Once,
Print Many
The printer driver sends data to the printer only once,
regardless of the number of copies specified. This
conserves valuable network resources and allows users to
resume their applications quickly.
Once the data reaches the printer, it analyzes the job to
determine the amount of memory the rasterized data will
require. If there is sufficient memory, it will perform
Raster Image Processing (RIP) only once and hold the
rasterized pages in memory for use in printing each
successive copy.
Rasterizing is a time consuming part of the printing
process. On many small group laser printers, raster
processing is repeated for each successive copy. The ability
of the printer’s intelligence to determine that particular
jobs need to be rasterized once allows multiple sets to be
produced at rated printer speeds. This enhances job
performance.
Send Once, RIP Once, Print Many is performed
automatically by the printer.
