6-3 Maintaining optimal performance
• Reduce the number of printed pages by choosing not to print a cover page by default
unless you need cover pages for recordkeeping
Printing cover pages by default is a PS Setup option.
• Leave some jobs that are less urgent to times when there is less network traffic or
printing
Recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent can be printed to the Hold queue.
At low-traffic times, the administrator can move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs
to the Print queue for printing.
• Reduce unnecessary two-way communication
Large numbers of remote users using the Fiery utilities, especially with frequent
updates, may have a significant effect on GA-1040 performance.
• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the GA-1040
Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs being
retained in the Printed queue.
An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed and Hold queues.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the GA-1040 is
frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) and elect not
to publish the Hold queue (in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use Fiery WebSpooler. When you free up disk
space by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.
An internal hard drive upgrade may be available. Check with your service
representative for more information.
