Reducing the imaging time increases throughput. You can also
increase the baud rate to increase the transmission time and

the printer match those at the host.

The following tips and hints are helpful to keep in mind when
designing MPCLII formats.
W i t h F o r m a t s
If you want to modify your format fields, check digit fields, and
configuration commands, use the optional entry method. This
method enables you to reset only the parameters you want to
change. Commas act as placeholders for unchanged
parameters. The optional entry method reduces file size and
increases the speed at which files are sent to the printer.
W i t h P a c k e t s
Leave parameters blank that you do not need to change when
sending online configuration packets.
You can group fields with similar parameters. For example
T,1,10,V,250,50,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0
p
T,2,15,,,75
p
T,3,,,,100
