Print Job Parser Configuration
This page contains detailed description of print job parser. Print job parser is used by Dispatcher Paragon to analyze print job properties (e.g. detected print job languages, count of print job pages with their color coverage, duplex/simplex information etc.) and for image preview rendering.
Configuration
To see and configure parser settings:
-
Log in to the Dispatcher Paragon Management Interface with sufficient rights to change system setting (for example, "admin") and access the Tenant view.
-
Go to System > Expert tab and search required properties or find them in Spooler category.
You will be interested in the properties below:
jobAnalysisResolution
The higher the rendering resolution is, the more resources it consumes. Job analysis resolution is used for job operation such as offline accounting.
Possible values:
|
Value |
Description |
|
No rendering |
While analyzing a print job it will not be rendered at all, so that just basic information without accounting one are gathered. This option provides the best system performance. |
|
Low resolution rendering |
While analyzing a print job all its pages will be rendered to a image in low-resolution (36 DPI). This option provides full print job properties information, but due to the lower resolution the results will not be as accurate as high resolution option. Usable for offline accounting. Please, keep on mind that this option can worsen system performance. |
|
High resolution rendering |
While analyzing a print job all its pages will be rendered to a image in high-resolution (150 DPI). The most convenient option for offline accounting and coverage accounting. Please, keep on mind that this option has significant impact on system performance. |
previewResolution
Job preview resolution, the parser can create a preview of incoming print jobs with different levels of precision; the higher the rendering resolution, the better quality of image will be generated. Job preview resolution is used for rendering job previews for the terminals and management interface.
Possible values:
|
Value |
Description |
|
No rendering |
No print job previews will be rendered. |
|
Low resolution rendering |
Print job preview will be rendered in 36 DPI resolution. |
|
High resolution rendering |
Print job preview will be rendered in 150 DPI resolution. The preview will be created in the best quality. |
Parsing PostScript and Mobile Print and Mobile Integration Gateway jobs
Dispatcher Paragon comes with built-in parser for PCL print jobs. PostScript (PS) jobs and jobs from Mobile Print and Dispatcher Paragon Mobile Integration Gateway (both sends raw PDFs) requires GhostScript parser.
The recommended version is 9.x (version 8.x or lower is not supported!).
The GhostScript parser must be downloaded and installed additionally as due to the license conditions it is not possible to include it in Dispatcher Paragon installation package. To download the installation files of GhostScript please refer to - https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html.
GhostScript can be installed into its default path, because FlexiSpooler can detect it automatically and use the latest version installed on the server/computer. So in case of multiple GhostScript versions installed on the server/computer, FlexiSpooler will always use the latest version. Information about GhostScript version is found in the registry of operating system.
More information on the support of print languages can be found in Print language support and limitations.
