When no other Print output operations run at the same time, a single job will get all available
speed units, or the maximum number of speed units reserved for jobs of that size (see "Dividing
processing power over jobs" below).
To set a number of speed units per Print job:
1.
Select Window > Preferences... from the menu.
2.
Under Scheduling, select Weaver Engine.
3.
Set the Parallel speed units per job for medium and large Print jobs. Small jobs get one
speed unit. You cannot assign more speed units than what you have available according
to your licence.
Note
Keep in mind that when there aren't enough speed units available at the moment a
job comes in, the job will have to wait.

Number of speed units for Email and Web
Although assigning parallel speed units to Email and HTML jobs is possible (on the Merge
Engine settings page), it is advised to use only one speed unit per job, firstly because these
jobs are usually small.
Secondly, HTML jobs need to be handled as soon as possible, particularly if a request was
made over the internet; you don't want those jobs to be kept waiting until the required number of
speed units becomes available.
Email output doesn't benefit much from speed units, because most time is spent on
communicating with an external SMTP server.
Dividing processing power over jobs
There is a number of ways in which you can divide processing power over output operations of
a certain kind and/or size.

job). Note that reserved engines cannot be used by any other type of job. This means
