Your magicolor 2+ has the ability to print PDF files directly just as it does for PostScript
and PCL files. This can be a time-saving feature. Direct printing removes the need to
open the file in an application, such as Acrobat Reader, then print the file via a Post-
Script or PCL driver. Your QMS magicolor 2+ supports PDF version 1.2 and below.
The PDF file can be sent to the printer using any method (lpr, ftp, etc.) that is normally
used to print PostScript or PCL files.
The unique structure of PDF files requires that you make some adjustments to your
printer's default memory clients. All PDF files contain information at the end of the
files that is needed to correctly format them in the printer. Because of this, the entire
file must be spooled into the printer before it can be interpreted. In order to spool the
entire job into the printer, the Host Input (Spool) memory client may need to be
adjusted.
To determine the required size for the Host Input memory client, you first need to esti-
mate the maximum file size of the PDF files that you will be printing. Once you have
determined the maximum file size, add 10% to this number and this becomes your
required Host Input memory size. In the event that you experience problems, you may
want to increase the Host Input memory size further.
The maximum size of PDF files which may be printed on the magicolor 2+ is deter-
mined by the amount of installed memory, including RAM and an internal hard disk.
Adding additional RAM memory or an internal hard disk will allow you to print larger
PDF files. However, we recommend an internal hard disk for optimum performance
when printing large PDF files.
Refer to "Memory," in chapter 5 of the Reference manual on how to adjust the mem-
ory clients.
Your magicolor 2+ also provides a utility via the CrownView web page for printing PDF
files directly from the host using the browser. Users will be presented with a Browse
button that, when selected, will enable a file chooser on the host. Users then select
the file that they want to send to the printer, and the file is transferred and printed.
