The
Gallop
function enables you to begin printing a defined number of
pages before the entire job has been RIPed. This enables you to print and
RIP concurrently.
Gallop reduces the amount of time desired to RIP and print a job and is
especially useful for long runs such as VI jobs. When combined with a
deletion policy, Gallop enables you to free printer disk space.
Gallop is not recommended for relatively small jobs, since the benefit of
engaging the process is marginal, and the total production time will be
shortened by only a few seconds.
To set the gallop:
¾
Select
Yes
and enter the number of pages to RIP before starting to
print.
The Paper Stock Tab
The
Paper Stock
tab enables you to set paper stock-related job parameters.
The Spire CXP8000 color server uses multiple paper stock parameters such
as paper size, type, weight and coating to specify the paper stock. You may
either select each parameter separately or select a complete paper set which
already includes all parameters.
If the selected paper set is unavailable, the current job is frozen until the
appropriate set is available (the job receives a
frozen
status indicator, its
line appears in blue and a message appears in the Alerts window). Other
jobs can print while jobs are held.
Note: The default number of pages to be RIPed before printing is 50. For
complicated jobs using numerous shared elements, you can increase or
decrease this number.
