Configuration Overview

Optimizing Print Speed

LP+, IGP/PGL, and IGP/VGL Emulations
The printer has been configured at the factory for optimal print speed. To
optimize print quality instead, you can change values for specific configuration
parameters such as Barcode Quality and Print Quality. Doing so, however,
will decrease the printer speed.
If you have optimized the printer for print quality, you can change it to optimal
speed by selecting the values as follows:
•
Bar Code Quality (Printer Control menu): Select Draft.
(See page 59 for the Configuration Main Menu, and see page 219 for a
written description of Bar Code Quality.)
•
Print Quality (IGP/PGL emulation): Select Dataprocessing. (See
page 177 for the IGP/PGL Configuration Menu, and see page 186 for a
written description of Print Quality.)
•
Print Quality (IGP/VGL emulation): Select Dataprocessing. (See
page 190 for the IGP/VGL Configuration Menu, and see page 197 for a
written description of Print Quality.)
Coax/Twinax Emulation
You can increase print speed by selecting the Enable mode for the Early Print
Complete configuration parameter in the Coax/Twinax Emulation. However, if
an error occurs while in Enable mode, you may lose data. For more
information, refer to "Early Print Complete" on page 109. (For the Coax/
Twinax Emulation menu, see page 104.)
