Caching
To maximize efficiency, QuarkXPress Server uses cached versions of all rendered projects
whenever possible. You can configure projects so that they are never cached, so that
they are cached for a particular amount of time, or so that they are rendered every
time they are served.
QuarkXPress Server preferences
When you launch QuarkXPress Server, the application creates preferences files that
are functionally and structurally equivalent to the preferences files created by
QuarkXPress. These preferences files reside in the QuarkXPress Server "Preferences"
folder. QuarkXPress Server also creates a "QuarkXPress Server.prf" file in the "Preferences"
folder. This file contains preference settings that are specific to QuarkXPress Server.
QuarkXPress Server uses these preferences the same way QuarkXPress uses them. If an
XTensions module creates a project in QuarkXPress Server, that project draws its
settings from the QuarkXPress Server preferences just as a new QuarkXPress project
draws its settings from the QuarkXPress preferences.
Preferences files are stored in the following locations:
Mac OS: [User]/Library/Preferences/Quark/QuarkXPress Server Renderer
10.0/
Windows Vista, Windows 2008, or Windows 2008 R2 64-bit when QuarkXPress Server
is running normally or as a service under a domain user account: C:\Users\[user
name]\AppData\Roaming\Quark\QuarkXPress Server Renderer 10.0\
Windows 2008 or Windows Vista, when QuarkXPress Server is running as a service
under a local user account:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Quark\QuarkXPress
Server Renderer 10.0\
Windows 2008 R2 64-bit, when QuarkXPress Server is running as a service under a
local user account:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Quark\QuarkXPress
Server Renderer 10.0
For more information about preferences, see "Administration menu."
Quark License Administrator
To prevent unauthorized use, QuarkXPress Server requires the presence of a Quark®
License Administrator (QLA) server to launch. QuarkXPress Server follows the
configuration and control rules that are enforced by QLA. For more information about
QLA, see the QLA documentation included with QuarkXPress Server.
Master-renderer environment
Requests for project renders are stored in a connection queue. The requests in the
rendering queue can be processed by a single QuarkXPress Server application, or by a
master QuarkXPress Server application and several renderers (additional instances of
QuarkXPress Server). The master QuarkXPress Server application launches the available
number of renderers and then passes the requests in the connection queue to those
