Maintaining optimal E-42B performance
The E-42B does not require maintenance. In addition to servicing and maintaining the
copier/printer and replenishing consumables, you can improve the overall performance of
your system by regularly monitoring the performance of the E-42B.
• Make the best use of your network connections.
Publish only connections that will be used. The E-42B constantly checks all published
connections, even if they are inactive.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.
• 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 E-42B performance.
• Make sure that you have adequate disk space on the E-42B.
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 E-42B 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.
