Load balancing
PReS Workflow offers various load balancing options to distribute the printing load and to make
the process faster and more efficient. Print jobs may, for example, be split equally among
several printers, or they may be split according to each printer’s capacity and speed.
Load balancing can only be used for jobs sent to Printer Queue output tasks and it only
applies when multiple Workflow Printer Queues are selected.
In the General tab of the Printer Queue Output Properties dialog box, you may select multiple
printers, and in the Advanced tab, you can set the load balancing options for the selected
printers.
Associating PlanetPress Design documents and PReS
printer queues
One of the resources stored in a PReS Workflow printer queue is the list of PlanetPress Design
documents associated with it. Also stored in the printer queue are the properties of each
document associated with the queue.
Note that Workflow printer queues are different from normal printer queues; see "PReS
Workflow printer queues" on page111.
For more information about PlanetPress Design documents, see "PlanetPress Design
documents" on page44.
For information about printing, see "About printing" on page109.
Assigning documents to a Workflow printer queue
To assign PlanetPress Design documents to PReS Workflow printer queues:
1.
In the PPS/PSM Documents group of the Configuration Components pane, select
either a single document or a group of documents.
2.
Drag the selected documents over a PReS Workflow printer queue. The selected
document or the group of documents is associated with the printer queue. Each document
keeps its default properties.
