Load balancing
PReS Workflow offers various load balancing options to distribute the printing load and to make the pro-
cess 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 print-
ers, and in the Advanced tab, you can set the load balancing options for the selected printers.
