Reimaging Modified Fields - Intermec 3440 User Manual

If the printer still aborts and reprints at the highest image band setting, you
may be trying to optimize at a print speed that is too high for your label
format. Try optimizing the number of image bands at a lower print speed or
add expansion RAM.
To print very complex labels at high speeds, you must allocate enough
image bands to completely image the label before printing. Allocate one
band for each inch of label length. By doing this, you can print at any speed.
However, there may be a considerable delay between labels.

Reimaging Modified Fields

You can now choose to reimage only the fields in a label format that you
modify instead of reimaging the entire label format. If you are updating
data in only a few simple fields, it may be faster to use the modified field
reimaging command. However, you need to take into account the type of
fields you will be reimaging. If you choose to reimage a field that takes
longer to erase and reimage than it takes an entire label format to erase and
reimage, you will not be increasing throughput. Erasing a field requires
reimaging it with zeros, and erasing a label requires only clearing the RAM.
When you use it correctly, this command parameter can greatly increase the
throughput of your printer.
To use the modified field reimaging command
1. Make sure that you select enough image bands to allow the printer to
retain the entire label image.
One image band is equal to 1 inch of label length and 89K of RAM.
2. Select the fields to reimage, by using the following command:
<ESC>E n,m
See the Format, Select command in Chapter 6 for more information on how
to reimage modified fields.
