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 estimate 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 maxi-
mum size of PDF files which may be printed on the
magicolor
6100 is determined 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 print-
ing large PDF files. Refer to “Memory,” in chapter 3 of the
Reference
manual on how
to adjust the memory clients.

Your magicolor 6100 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.

If you are having problems printing large PDF files using direct printing or CrownView
from a PC or UNIX, increase the PS Wait Timeout.
Printing large PDF files from your web browser with the QMS CrownView feature may
fail without any indication of an error. The job will appear to start normally, but then
flush without printing. The CrownView screen will indicate that the file has printed.
This is generally due to heavy network traffic, which causes the file to take longer than
usual to transfer to the printer’s spool buffer. When the PDF emulation detects the
start of data transfer, it invokes the PS Wait Timer, expecting data transfer to complete
before the timer expires. If the timer expires, the job is flushed.
To correct the problem, increase the amount of time allowed before the PS Wait Timer
expires. The factory default setting for this timeout is 30 seconds. Doubling the value
to 60 seconds should correct most problems, or the value can be set to 0 seconds,
which effectively makes the timeout period infinite.
