Performance degradation in spool printing

Dear Experts,

  We experience performance problems when printing data in mass
amounts(>250 print copies)

  Are there any provisions to overcome the above defects?


I have done research on SCN before coming here and please suggest your
thoughts on below ideas.


1.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile711/helpdata/en/3c/07f03b10e9ab0ce10000000a11402f/content.htm

tells us for Mass printing

  A) SAP recommends to use a local access method for performance reasons.

  B) To optimize the output speed, deactivate the status query through the
host spool system and the print manager.

  C)  If necessary, deactivate the Delete After Output option that
automatically deletes output requests that have been output successfully.

2.Store data in printer cache to avoid sending repeated information's over
the network which is the reason for the bottleneck.?


3. I have also came to know about HVP(High volume printing) but this
solution seems to be more expensive.

    I believe there must be workarounds to achieve this within SAP.


Please share your suggestions/views. Your help is highly appreciated.


Thanks

Prabaharan

If what you're printing contains graphics, consider making the graphics black & white and using lower resolution graphics (200x200 pixels instead of 400x400). Also, you could work with your basis team to determine if there's anything you can do to evaluate and if necessary speed up the performance of the TEMSE table, as this is where the print spool data is written to and read from when printing.
