Chapter3 Handling Speeding Up Printing using High Speed Batch Label Printing Function The [High speed batch label printing] function allows you to print a large number of labels faster. Before using the function, read and understand "Restrictions" on page 132 . To get the latest version of the printer driver see "How to Get Software" on page 380 . Overview of the Function When printing labels without using the [High speed batch label printing] function (normal printing), label data is sent one by one to the printer even when printing multiple copies of the same label. Each time one label is printed, the printer needs to conduct operations required between labels such as leaving a space.
When the [High speed batch label printing] function is enabled, the printer driver merges multiple labels so that the total length fits inside 400 mm (15.75 inches) and sends it to the printer as one data. This reduces time required for operations between labels, so the total time required for printing labels is reduced. Example: When printing 100 copies of 97 mm (3.82 inches) length label with 3 mm (0.12 inches) margin between labels (1) Normal printing: (Print 1 label + Operation between labels) x 100 times (2) High speed batch label printing:
(Print 4 labels at a time + Operation between labels) x 25 times (1) Normal printing (2) High speed batch label printing Multiple labels are merged into one data so that the total length fits inside 400 mm (15.75 inches) including margins between labels. When printing labels of 200 mm (7.87 inches) length including margins, two labels are merged into one data and the total print length becomes 400 mm (15.75 inches).
