explained below.
If you are looking to improve the performance, please refer to the following topic: "Performance
Considerations" on page25.
l
Job: The internal name of the template and data file that were used to create this job.
l
Statistics: The statistics group shows all information with regards to how long the job
took, the speed at which it ran, the job size and what was used to achieve those numbers.
l
Start time: The moment the print command was given. Typically this occurs just
before the progress dialog appears.
l
Finish time: The moment all output files had been either written to disk or spooled
to the printer. This is not the printer's finishing time.
l
Duration: The total time that it took to finish the job (the difference between Finish
and Start time). This should be the sum of the time spent on Content Creation, Job
Creation and Output Creation.
l
Content Creation: The time spent on creating content items. This includes the time
needed to process the input data and merge them with the given template.
l
Job Creation: The time spent on assembling the job. Job creation settings can be
made in the Advanced Printer Wizard, or in a separate Job Creation Preset (see
"Job Creation Presets Wizard" on page659).
l
Output Creation: The time spent on creating the actual (spool) file(s). Output
creation settings can be made in the Advanced Printer Wizard, or in a separate
Output Creation Preset (see "Output Creation Presets Wizard" on page676).
l
Input size: The number of records in the input data.
l
Document count: The number of documents in the job. This may be less than the
input size if filtering was used in the Job Creation settings.
l
Job size: The number of pages created during Output Creation. This number is also
used to calculate the output speed in pages per minute.
