Optimizing Printer Performance    B–1

Optimizing Printer
Performance

Upgrading to a more powerful CPU (i.e. 80386 to a
80486) will of course improve performance, but this
is not practical for everyone.  Here are some other
suggestions.

1.

Add more memory.

SuperScript requires a minimum of 4MB memory
on your PC, the same amount Microsoft recom-
mends for Windows 3.1.  However, adding more
PC memory gives NEC SuperScript additional
“breathing room”.  The additional memory
reduces the overhead of having to manage limited
space, and also allows more resources to run
other Windows applications while you print.

2.

Close unneeded applications.

This will free up memory and improve
SuperScript’s performance.

3.

Use GDI mode wherever possible.

When Windows applications print to conven-
tional printers, they translate their output descrip-
tion into a printer language.  GDI mode saves
time by converting objects directly into printable
images.  The result is faster printing.  Although
the quality of GDI output varies by application,
GDI mode works especially well for text output
and certain graphics.  Try GDI with your
documents to see if it meets your requirements.
