Improving Print Speed Performance

Use the Parallel RIP feature for complex documents

If you have the Xerox Nuvera 200/288/314 EA/MX Perfecting Production System, you can enable the
Parallel RIP feature to improve image processing time and increase RIP print speeds for long jobs with
nonrepeating images.
For more information about using Parallel RIP with the Xerox Nuvera 200/288/314 EA/MX Perfecting
Production System, see Printing with the Parallel RIP feature.
Enable the Wide Stock feature when printing 9.25 inches or 9.5 inches wide
stock
If you are printing stock greater than 9.0 inches wide up to 9.5 inches wide, you can optimize the print
speed of the job by selecting the Wide Stock feature from the Printer menu on the FreeFlow Print Server
user interface.
For details on how to enable this feature, refer to Optimizing productivity for jobs containing wide stocks
measuring 9 - 9.5 process direction.

How page/image size affects Pitch

The system senses paper sizes requested, and optimizes the use of the belt and the paper path to ensure
maximum productivity. For details on how page image size impacts belt pitch, which in turn impacts
overall throughput, see About Pitch.

PDF to PS conversion

The PDF to PS conversion is a streaming workflow which allows the RIP to begin before the entire PDF
to PS conversion is complete. Since the PDF to PS conversion is streaming, file size limitation is not an
issue.

Variable Data image caching

Variable Data image caching retains repeated image data to achieve improved RIP performance. Caching
and reusing this data makes processing of variable data jobs more efficient, and results in significant
performance gains at the printer, especially in jobs with many repeated images.
Note
You can enable or disable image caching in the IPDS Manager without restarting the FreeFlow Print
Server. In addition, you can program the image caching option on a per job basis using the IPDS Job
Profile user interface.
