[. . . ] If you do not have enough space on your hard drive, StylusRIP stops spooling when the hard disk becomes full and restarts spooling as soon as the previous print job is finished. This can cause slower performance than if Raster Spool Mode is turned off. Note: If you turn on or off Raster Spool Mode, you must quit and restart StylusRIP before the new setting takes effect. 22 Selecting and Setting up the StylusRIP Server You need to select and set up the StylusRIP Server before printing, as described in this section.
