CYCLE TIME CONSIDERATIONS
Tag layout and printer configuration can have a significant influence on cycle time. Here are a few
techniques that in many cases can significantly speed printing.
1.
Select DRAFT mode. When DRAFT mode is on, stepper and
mirror resolution, laser speed, font sizes, and barcode and
graphic scales are automatically adjusted.
2.
Increase laser speed (move slider bar to LIGHTER). It may be
necessary to increase Laser Duty Cycle to maintain black/white
contrast.
3.
Use ARIAL BLACK font for text, to create darker easier-
to-read characters. Also try using the BOLD font setting
instead of a larger font size.
4.
Design printing to run ACROSS the tag at 90° rotation
(right angles to tag feed) rather than down the tag at 0°
rotation (printing parallel to tag feed is slower).
5.
Avoid drawing graphic boxes around text or other
graphics with long vertical (parallel to tag feed) lines.
6.
Combine text strings into fewer lines. A single long line
of text is more efficient than several short lines of text (at
90° rotation, parallel to tag feed).
7.
Keep graphics/logo X-scale and Y-scale factors equal to
1. If the graphic or logo must be re-sized to fit on the tag,
use an external application such as MS PAINT to change
the dimensions of the image and re-save the BMP file
before importing into Producer™.
