66-3 Maintaining optimal ColorPASS performanceMaintaining optimal ColorPASS performanceThe ColorPASS does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements ofservicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables, there are a fewthings you can do that will improve the overall performance of your system:• Make the best use of your network connectionsPublish only connections that will be used; the ColorPASS constantly checks allpublished connections, even if they are inactive. Match the NetWare polling intervaland the number of queues or connections to the demand for printing.Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate theconnections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.• Leave some jobs that are less urgent to times when there is less network traffic orprintingRecurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent can be printed to the Hold queue.At low-traffic times, the administrator or a user of the job management tools withOperator privileges can move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue forprinting.• Reduce unnecessary two-way communicationLarge numbers of users running Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, mayhave a significant effect on ColorPASS performance.• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the ColorPASSPeriodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs beingretained in the Printed queue.An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed queue and Holdqueue. Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the ColorPASS isfrequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) and choose not topublish the Hold queue (in Printer Setup).To move or remove queued jobs, use the job management tools. When you free up diskspace by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.
