Recommended configuration of shared Windows printer used for secure and direct print queue

When you are configuring shared printer for secure print, follow the the recommendations bellow to increase performance of the driver installed in environment when it is used for printing on printers with a different feature configuration. The same recommendations can be applied for direct print as well since there is no direct access between the driver and the printer and feature configuration has to be selected manually.

• Printer properties - Accessories are configured to support all possible features (Punch unit, Finisher, etc.)
• Printer properties - Accessories - Disable automatically update printer Information
• Printer properties - Ports - Disable bidirectional settings
• Printer properties - Ports - Enable printer pooling to remove Windows print job spooling bottleneck
