When several printing jobs are processed at the same time, Printer server what is included cluster printing solution can choose what printer is ready for printing job. Because a small print job can be broken by bigger job in normal printing environment, but cluster printing solution can process effectively all of printer jobs and it can save your print time shortly as well as improve your printing quality.
Self Fail Over
When processing print jobs, normally steps are same with below picture.
If there are two printer server 1and 2, system will keep equal with server 1and 2 and process printing job. But how can process printing jobs when printer server failed job, overload or have some trouble?
In this situation, printer server what is not working will be stopped by Self fail over solution immediately, then automatically change to another server (server 2) will continue to process printing job. Without any problems you can get the right result.
Load Balancing
If you have 100 documents need to print out, load balancing solution automatically distributed average amount then process printing jobs. (Pic. 1)
Another distributed way is Server comparing with A and B, then Choose less using printer server (server B), it will process more printing jobs. (Pic. 2)
