System Administrator Tips - Xerox Phaser 790 Documentation

A
The Phaser 790 does not require extensive maintenance. Beyond the
obvious requirements of servicing and maintaining the printer and
replenishing consumables, there are a few things the System
Administrator can do to improve the overall performance of your
system:
Make the best use of network connections.
Publish only the connections that will be used. The Phaser 790
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.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration Page.
Eliminate the connections that are not being used and re-establish
them only when needed. In general, network connections provide
superior throughput than a parallel port connection.
Reduce unnecessary two-way communication.
If users notice that the server is frequently too busy to receive jobs,
it may be because several users are running utilities that are
updated often. Large numbers of remote users running the Fiery
WebTools may have a significant effect on printer performance.
Remember that there is a maximum number of eight simultaneous
connections to the printer.
Reduce unnecessary server connections at the Command
WorkStation.
If you use a second or third printer on an occasional basis,
performance will be improved if you log off when it is not in use.
