Chapter 5— Advanced Printer Programming
IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual 53
To print very complex labels at high speeds, you must allocate enough
image bands to completely image the label before printing. By allocating
one band for each 2.54 cm (1 in) of label length, you can print at any
speed; however, you may notice considerable delays before each label is
printed.
Image Band Example
This example shows how the printer prints a label format using image
bands. The label is 12.7 cm (5 in) long and is divided into five image
bands. The printer is configured for three image bands, which means that
three bands will be imaged before printing begins.
The dashed lines represent the divisions between the five image bands, and
the arrow (↑) represents the portion of the image band that is being
printed at that time.

The diagram below shows the first 2.54 cm (1 in) of the label imaged into
the first image band. The other two image bands are still empty. Printing
has not started.
