Bandwidth Management for the Universal PDF Printer Driver

[Top]  [Previous]  [Next]  

If the universal PDF printer driver is used for printing documents, you can use a NetMan PDF Printer Configuration Action to define the bandwidth allocated for transfer of the document from the session to the local workstation:

 

bandwidth

 

warning We recommend allocating bandwidth for these print jobs by workstation, station group or station profile in a NetMan startup script. The setting is then applied globally for all users and applications at the station or in the group or profile. You can overwrite these global defaults for specific users and applications using Actions in a separate Script. If different bandwidth settings are configured in the course of a given session, the setting configured by the Action most recently executed applies.

Dial-up access (28 Kb/s)

Dial-up access (56 Kb/s)

ISDN 1B (64 Kb/s)
