The DocuColor 4 LP/CP does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious
requirements of servicing and maintaining the printer/copier and replenish-
ing consumables, there are a few things you can do that will improve the
overall performance of your system:

Maintaining optimal DocuColor 4
LP/CP performance
Make the best use of your network connections
Publish only connections that will be used; the DocuColor 4 LP/CP
constantly checks all published connections, even if they are inactive.
Match the NetWare polling interval and the number of queues or
connections to the demand for printing.
Reduce the number of printed pages by electing not to print a cover page
by default unless you need cover pages for record keeping
Printing cover pages by default is a Printer 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 running Fiery WebTools from remote
workstations, especially with frequent updates, may have a significant
effect on DocuColor 4 LP/CP performance.
Make sure you have adequate disk space on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP
If your printer/copier has a hard disk drive, 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 DocuColor 4 LP/CP is frequently low, you can disable the Printed
queue (in Server Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use the Fiery WebSpooler. When you
free up disk space by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and
printed more quickly.
