SICFilePlus: Optimised Printer Queues
This product may be of help to optimise printing on
Canon iR devices in the following cases:
- If printing on a Canon device does not reach the
desired output speed.
- Jobs would come out in a different order than
expected, in connection with certain UNIX systems.
Some UNIX applications produce documents consisting
of one job per page. For small documents this is no problem.
For large documents, however, this may generate a large number of (almost
simultaneous) jobs on the Canon device.
Especially Canon iRXXXX devices may be slow under these circumstances.
Also some UNIX systems (for example SCO UNIX) may send
the jobs in a certain order, but the Canon device will print them in a
different order.
The SICFilePlus solution will concatenate all the
jobs into one file and then send that file to the Canon device.
It will do the concatenation in a seperate file for
each UNIX login, so different users will not interfere with each other.
After a certain time out the reception of jobs will be
considered as finished and the resulting data will be send to the Canon
device.
This solution may require some customisation with
respect to the time-out parameters.
The solution works both for PostScript and PCL printer
queues.
For a SICFilePlus product you can contact your local
Canon sales representative who will make the link with SIC
International.
