Working with the RIP global caching

The RIP Global Caching feature caches the Ready to Print (RTP) graphics of reusable elements in the process of printing print output files. This feature is available on printers that support global caching for PPML and

The following sections provide instructions on Enabling the RIP Global Caching and on Enabling the RIP Global Caching.

To enable RIP global caching:

  1. In the uProduce Dashboard, select a document you intend to produce multiple times and click Process.

  2. On theProcess page, go to the Advanced Parameters section and select Use RIP Global Caching.

  3. Click Submit.

While the job is being processed for the first time, each reusable element receives a global name. The association between a reusable element and its name is saved in uProduce. The next time you process this document, each reusable element will receive the same global name. The global names allow the RIP to identify and reuse elements that appeared in previous jobs.

Clearing RIP global caching

uProduce has a naming generation mechanism that can create an extensive amount of global names. In the rare event that all possible names are used, a warning will be displayed, requiring that you clear the RIP global cache.

To clear RIP global caching:

  1. Log in to uProduce as an administrator.

  2. Click the Settings button.

    The uProduce for Administrators - Settings page is displayed.

  3. From the Server Settings tree, select Global Caching.

  4. Click Clear.

    The RIP Global Caching information is cleared from uProduce.

    Note: When you clear the RIP Global Caching via uProduce, you must also go to the RIP and clear the Global Elements cache.
