Introduction

Job Scheduling

The number of jobs that can be queued to the printer at

one time is dependent on the available memory in the

printer. If large image ﬁles are sent, fewer jobs can be

processed. Installing optional memory in the printer

increases the number of jobs that can be processed, and

is described in the KODAK XLS 8600 Printer and XLS

8600 PS Printer, User's Guide.

The other factor that impacts job scheduling is the

network conﬁguration impact on job scheduling in which

the printer is installed. When the printer is connected

through more than one port, the printer polls the ports in

a round robin method. This means that once a job is

received by the printer, it stops polling the ports until the

job has ﬁnished printing. The printer then looks to the

next port in the list. The position of the ports in the list will

impact the order in which jobs are processed. Simple

timing of when jobs are sent is not the only determinant

of when jobs will be processed and printed.

Your computer can print to the XLS 8600/XLS 8600 PS

Printer through SCSI connection or parallel connection,

or through Ethernet connection if the optional Network

Interface Card is installed on the printer. Refer to the

KODAK XLS 8600 Printer and XLS 8600 PS Printer,

User's Guide for more information about network

connectivity.

To gain more control over image sharpness, turn

sharpening off in the Export Module and use one of

Photoshop's sharpening ﬁlters instead.
