Advanced Network settings:
Server Download Buffer Size
The size of the download buffer. This setting correlates to the TCP Window Size, and is provided to help address network scenarios, such as high bandwidth and also high latency. Too high a value here wastes memory and can decrease throughput if the network suffers too many packets that need to be retransmitted.
Enable Download Pacing Feature
When checked, the PDH monitors the amount of data waiting in its (internal) transmit buffer. When the transmit buffer gets 75% full, PDH slows the rate at which more data is loaded into the buffer.
When the transmit buffer goes back below the configured threshold, the PDH increases the rate at which data is provided to the buffer. The goal is to prevent PDH from buffering the entire print job data payload in memory, reducing memory usage by PDH.
The Download Pacing Feature is enabled by default and is expected to be useful in nearly every situation. To allow the PDH Admin to troubleshoot situations where print job data download speeds appear to be highly variable, the feature can be disabled as a diagnostic aid.
