General Settings tab

Multi-printer Settings

To improve performance and increase conversion speed, multiple printer drivers (threads) can be used simultaneously.

The number of used printer drivers (threads) is: Select how many printer threads should be used for conversion.

The number of maximum available printers is limited by the available CPUs on the system and by the purchased license for the BiBatchConverter Server. BiBatchConverter Server licenses can be purchased for a specific number of printers. During the evaluation period, a maximum of 3 printer drivers (threads) will be utilized.

To read more about installing more printer drivers (threads), please refer to the Adding printer drivers to BiBatchConverter Server Service section of the manual.

Disk Space

Options under the Disk Space section, enable automatic checks to ensure sufficient disk space is available during conversion. The following options are available:

• Check the SYSTEM drive disk space when converting

When enabled, conversion will stop if free space on the system drive drops below the specified threshold. By default, 1024 MB is set.

• Check the Output/Converted Folder drive disk space when converting

When enabled, conversion will stop if the output folder drive has less than the specified space available. By default, 100 MB is set.

Logging

A new log file is generated each day to maintain organized and manageable logging. The user can specify the directory where the BiBatchConverter Server Service log files are stored.

Log Directory: Defines the path for saving log information. Click Browse to change the directory.

The log file names will be generated according to the system date. By default, log files are stored in:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\BiBatchConverter\

For example; if the user uses the BiBatchConverter Server on February 22, 2019, the BiBatchConverter Server creates the following log file into the specified directory:

C:\Users\<<USER>>\AppData\Roaming\BiBatchConverter\ BiBatchConverter Service_5_12_2025.log

The log file date format is system specific. For Example:

USA:   BiBatchConverter Server Service_02_22_2019.log

UK:     BiBatchConverter Server Service_22_02_2019.log

China: BiBatchConverter Server Service_2019_02_22.log

NOTE: In order to change system date time format, navigate to Control Panel > Region > Formats tab and change short date format.
