If the printer aborts the label before it is through printing and attempts to
reprint at the slowest (2.5 ips) speed, then the image band setting is too low.
Return to the original print speed and increase the original number of image
bands (the printer will have set the number of image bands maximum, which is
ten). Continue to increase the number of image bands until the printer prints a
label correctly at the optimal print speed.
If the printer aborts and reprints at the highest Image Band setting, the image
band is too high. Lower the print speed and then try printing a label with the
minimum number of image bands (2). Gradually increase the number of image
bands until the label prints at the set print speed.
Modified Field Reimaging
If you are updating data in just a few fields, it might be faster to use the
modified field reimaging command. When used correctly, this command can
greatly increase the processing ability of your printer because only the fields
that change or receive new data are reimaged. However, you need to take into
account the number of fields you are thinking of reimaging. If the fields you
choose to reimage take longer to erase and reimage than an entire label format,
you will not increase throughput because erasing a field requires reimaging it
with white space and erasing a label just requires clearing the RAM. The
increase in processing can only be determined by printing a label both with and
without modified feild reimaging enabled, and comparing the results.
When using the modified field reimaging command, make sure that you select
enough image bands to allow the printer to retain the entire label image. One
image band is equal to one inch. For example, if the printed image stops four
inches from the beginning of the label, you must select four image bands to
prevent reimaging.
To select the fields to reimage, use the following command:
<ESC>E {n}{,m}
where the default for n,m=0,0
If the current page is 0, n is a numeric format ID ranging from 0 to 19.
If a page other than 0 is selected, n is an alphabetic format position within the
page that can be any letter from a to z. An error code is generated if an invalid
format is entered.
If m=0, modified field reimaging is disabled. When m is a non-zero number,
only the fields that receive new data are reimaged.
