APPENDIX DPSLab 5
The execution of jobs is divided into 2 different parts: processing and sending (transfer).
Everyone of them is executed separately. Every job arriving will go through this workflow:
processing and transfer. Once a queued job is processed, it‟s queued again waiting for the
transfer step.
DPSLab can manage the execution of several jobs at the same time as follows:
It can manage one process and send several jobs simulataneously. But it can only process
one order at the same time.
It can manage sending several jobs when the transfer method or protocol is different among
them. It can send simultaneously, for example, one order using LAN, other using FTP and
another using the SELF method.
The processing and transfer steps are described in the next sections.
1.1.1 Processing
In this step, the different files or resources required by the destination system are being
prepared. The following could be some of these tasks:
Picture treatment (common to any protocol)
Order file generation
Folder structure.
Packing
Etc.
Depending on the configuration and the characteristics of the service protocol, the DPSLAB
module will process the job images before sending them.
This is of the utmost importance, for example, when sending images via the Internet, so the
size must be reduced to make for easier sending.
In this case we should work in "MaxSizeFactor" mode (see the 'Image Processing' section
the "General" tab of the DPSLAB Services Configuration).
More specifically, The OPTSIZEDISK parameter will determine what the maximum size for
an image file on the hard drive is. If this size is surpassed the image file will be opened, its
size changed to the one that corresponds to the print size requested by the client, and it will
be compressed in ".JPG" format.
