OPTIMIZE BATCH ON/OFF
Field of Application Statement for enabling/disabling optimizing for batch printing.
Syntax OPTIMIZE "BATCH"
↔
ON | OFF
ON|OFF enables/disables optimizing respectively.
Default: Disabled (OFF)
Remarks
This facility is intended to speed up batch printing, which means the
uninterrupted printing of large numbers of identical or very similar labels.
OPTIMIZE BATCH is not recommended for the printing of labels with
frequently varying content.
The program execution will not wait for the printing of the label to be
completed, but proceeds executing next label image into the other of the two
image buffers as soon as possible.
By default, OPTIMIZE BATCH is disabled (OFF). However, if the following
conditions are all fulfi lled, the OPTIMIZE BATCH is automatically
enabled (ON):
- A value larger than 1 has been entered for the PRINTFEED statement.
- LTS& OFF (default)
- CUT OFF (default)
Examples Run these two examples and watch the differences in the printer’s
performance:
