Usage notes:

  • When choosing a segment size, keep in mind that a larger size increases the time required to process the first segment and send it to the printer. Small segments can degrade performance.
  • AFP jobs are segmented only for printing. They are not segmented for other processing in the workflow.
  • RICOH ProcessDirector can send jobs to a data transform program for conversion. Transforms support PostScript and PDF jobs that are larger than 2GB.
  • The PDF segment size property is specified on the General tab in the printer properties notebook.
