Turning on raster image spooling is recommended to get the
following benefits:

Faster processing of multiple copies

(1)

When 2 or more copies of one PostScript print job are sent
to the printer,
saves time and frees up hardware resources.

(2) Faster processing and high quality output

When this setting is on,

StylusRIP

spools raster images to
the hard drive faster than print data is sent to the printer,
which allows the printer to print much more quickly with
higher quality output.

The drawback to spooling raster images is that spooling
requires a lot of free hard disk space. The amount of free disk
space that your print job requires depends on the size,
resolution, and amount of detail in the print job. If you do not
have enough space on your hard drive,

StylusRIP

stops

spooling when the hard disk becomes full and restarts spooling

as soon as the previous print job is finished. This can cause
slower performance than when Raster Spool Mode is turned off.

You must quit and restart

If your hard drive does not have enough space for spooling the
raster image, you can change drives by typing another drive
and directory name in the Save in box. The default drive and

directory is C:

Spooling raster images requires approximately the following
hard drive space:

360 x 360 dpi - color printing
