Maintaining optimal Fiery EXP8000/50 performance

The Fiery EXP8000/50 does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of
servicing and maintaining the digital press and replenishing consumables, you can improve
the overall performance of your system by doing the following:
• Make the best use of your network connections.
Publish only connections that will be used. The Fiery EXP8000/50 constantly checks all
published connections, even if they are inactive. Match the number of queues or connections
to the demand for printing.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.
• Leave less urgent jobs to times when there is less network traffic or printing.
You can print recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent to the Hold queue. At low-traffic
times, the administrator or a user of the job management tools with Operator privileges can
move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue for printing.
• Reduce unnecessary network communication.
Large numbers of users running Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, may have a
significant effect on Fiery EXP8000/50 performance.
• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Fiery EXP8000/50.
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 in the Printed queue and Hold queue. Consider
printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the Fiery EXP8000/50 is frequently low,
you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) and choose not to publish the Hold queue
(in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use the job management tools. When you free up disk space
by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.
