Page Parallel RIP

¨

  This feature applies to DocuColor iGen3 only at this time.

¨

  Page Parallel RIP allows the DocuSP to decompose (RIP)

multiple jobs or multiple segments of a single job
simultaneously, resulting in a large boost in RIP speed.  The
number of parallel RIPs available is dependent upon the
number of CPUs and additional memory available in the
DocuSP controller.

¨

  This feature is supported for PostScript, PDF, VIPP, and

ASCII formats only, and the license must be enabled and
activated. 

NOTE: Jobs should be Adobe Document Structuring
Convention, DSC, compliant and Page Independent.  Jobs that
do not meet these requirements fault with a “Parallel RIP failed”
message and must be submitted to a non-parallel RIP queue.

¨

  A typical site should have at least two queues: one queue

set up for Page and Job Parallel workflows, and one queue
set for serial processing of jobs that cannot be divided into
chunks for parallel processing and for VIPP jobs that contain
embedded CACHE and PRECACHE commands.

¨

  The following are some limitations on the Parallel RIP

feature:

·

  A queue set for Parallel RIP should also be set to

Protected on the PostScript/PDF tab.

·

  The use of 1-N or N-1 is dependent upon the job suite

and user preference

·

  Jobs using the DocuSP Layout (Imposition) feature

cannot be processed using a parallel RIP queue.

·

  The DocuSP Job Preview option uses the serial

processing method.

·

  DocuSP Job and RIP status is available but may not

accurately reflect the status due to the multiple parallel
RIPs.

·

  VIPP jobs using CACHE and PRECACHE must be

processed using the serial queue; non-CACHE jobs may
be processed using either queue.

·

  Parallel RIP does not support jobs with subset finishing

or page dependent setpagedevice commands.

·

  No mechanism is available to validate that a job is DSC

compliant and page independent.  If you are unsure,
submit a proof to a queue set to Parallel RIP to see if it
prints properly.

·

  Very large standard PDF files, greater than 2 Gbytes for

example, print on a parallel RIP queue that is protected,
