Converting overlays to fixed files

Each time an LXF or TIFF overlay is used, it is converted to a fixed file and included in the data stream. To improve job performance you can specify that overlays should be converted and included in the job file and referenced in the data stream.

If not enough memory is allocated in the printer for fixed files, the overlays are converted each time they are used.

To convert overlays to fixed files

You convert the overlays to fixed files using the overlays2fixedfiles property.

Example 39

Conversion of overlays to fixed files

In this case, the overlays are included once in the job file and referenced in the data stream.

<property name="overlays2fixedfiles" type="bool">yes</property>

 

To allocate memory for fixed files

You allocate memory for fixed files using the fixedfilememory property.

Example 40

Allocation of memory for fixed files

In this case, 5242880 bytes are allocated for fixed files.

<property name="fixedfilememory" type="int">5242880</property>
