not required for either though.
l
Small job (engines): Optionally enter the number of Weaver engines you wish to reserve
for Small jobs.
To make sure large batch jobs get sufficient speed during Output Creation, set a lower
target speed for small jobs, this will automatically allow more for the large and medium
jobs.
l
Medium job (engines): Optionally enter the number of Weaver engines to reserve for
Medium jobs.
l
Total Weaver engines configured: This read only entry shows the number of Weaver
engines still available. This is the Total engine count, minus the number of engines
assigned to both Small and Medium jobs.
To change this value, you must update the total amount of Weaver Engines in the
Engines preferences page.
Target speed when running simultaneous jobs group:
If a single Output Creation task is running, it will be run at the full speed in the license. But
when multiple tasks run in parallel, this speed has to be divided between them. By default, the
maximum speed will be divided equally between tasks.
Use these settings to override what speed (in Pages Per Minute) should apply for each type of
job. This allows you to prioritize one or more type of job above the others. For example, if your
production process normally handles lots of small jobs, you might want to provide the smaller
jobs greater speed (throughput) than the less frequent Medium and Large jobs.
But if there are so many small jobs that they start limiting the throughput of larger jobs? If there
is always at least one small job running, then the maximum speed for the larger job will stay at
half of the licensed limit. In this case, you might want to increase the target speed for Large
jobs.
There are no hard and fast answers as to what settings will work best. It will likely be a matter of
trial and error. But many sites will not need to change speed settings at all.
The options are:
l
Small job (PPM): Enter the target speed for Small jobs, in Pages Per Minute (PPM).
l
Medium job (PPM): Enter the target speed for Medium jobs, in Pages Per Minute (PPM).
l
Large job (PPM): Enter the target speed for Large jobs, in Pages Per Minute (PPM)
