Performance and capacity considerations with document processing features

Keep these performance and system capacity considerations in mind as you configure and use document processing features, such as Archive, Postal Enablement, Inserter support, and the Advanced Document Pool extended feature.

In this section:

  1. Document properties and document management
    Use these document management tips to help you optimize system performance.
  2. Memory usage
    Keep these memory usage considerations in mind as you configure and use document processing features.
  3. Setting the maximum number of open files (optional)
    This section is not applicable to Windows. The system setting for the maximum number of open files prevents an uncontrolled process from taking over your system, but you might need a higher limit than the default if you are processing jobs with many files. Changing the open file limit lets your document processing feature use more system resources. This task is optional, but if File Not Found errors frequently appear in the job log during job processing, you should do this task.
  4. Defining the JVM memory pool allocation
    Depending on the size of your production files, processing a workflow can involve several memory-intensive operations. If you do not allocate enough memory to these processes in RICOH ProcessDirector, you might encounter processing errors or slow processing.
