Central and the HP 1022n
I’ve gotten a few requests lately for information on using these (and other) printers with Central. People try to send forms to them, but they don’t print. Instead they see garbage or nothing at all.
JetForm/Accelio/Adobe Central is as fast to print as it is because it does not send a completed and rendered raster to the printer. All that the printer gets is, in the case of HP’s, PCL. It uses the smarts built into the printer itself to RIP the code to pixels for printing. As a result, the files sent down the line are much, much smaller than any spool you’ll ever see come from a Windows (for example) application.
Optimising Central Logging Levels
Posted by Daryl in Central How-To on July 11th, 2007
Did you know that if your logging levels are set too high you can be severely impacting your printing performance? Highly detailed logging levels are routinely set on development and even testing systems, and by default, but are usually not needed on production machines. Regardless, when production machines are configured they are usually left at default settings and/or their settings are transported from development or test.
If your logging levels are turned all the way up, you can get insane improvements in speed with very little effort and only a teensy amount of risk. So what are you waiting for?
There is, in general, only one situation where you need to turn up your logging level: When you are counting pages to print “Page 1 of 10″, “2 of 10″ and so forth. Your first printing pass on one of these needs to have logging turned up enough to catch the trace statements that record the numbers, so follow my instructions carefully if you need this. (There are other uses, but I’m not going into all of them now.)
