• 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 CX3641MFP performance.
• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the CX3641MFP.
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 queue and Hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the CX3641MFP is
frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue 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.

Understanding power save considerations

The CX3641MFP power save mode conserves power when the CX3641MFP has been
inactive for a period of time. Some activities and Setup options, however, prevent the
CX3641MFP from entering power save mode:
• Connecting to the CX3641MFP with Downloader or ColorWise Pro Tools
• Enabling E-Mail Services on the CX3641MFP
• Enabling Web Services on the CX3641MFP (enabled by default)
In these cases, users can continue to connect to the CX3641MFP and print jobs, and you
will not be able to benefit from the power save mode.
If the CX3641MFP is already in power save mode, certain CX3641MFP utilities and jobs
printed from certain types of network connections may prevent the CX3641MFP from
immediately exiting power save mode, and causing a short delay in connecting to the
CX3641MFP. Connections will be made on subsequent retries.
If your network uses a DHCP server, renewing leases for the IP address of the
CX3641MFP while it is in power save mode is not guaranteed. If the lease for an IP
address expires while the CX3641MFP is in power save mode, the CX3641MFP may not
have the proper address, resulting in jobs that may not successfully reach the
CX3641MFP.
