CYCLE TIME CONSIDERATIONS

Tag design and printer configuration can have a significant influence on cycle time. Here
are a few techniques that, in many cases, can significantly speed printing.
Select DRAFT mode. When DRAFT mode is on,
1.
stepper and mirror resolution, laser speed, font sizes, and
barcode and graphic scales are automatically adjusted to
compensate.
Increase laser speed (move slider bar to LIGHTER).
2.
Create darker easier-to-read characters by using BOLD
3.
font instead of a larger font size. ARIAL BLACK is
an especially efficient font for creating easy-to-ready
text.
Design printing to run ACROSS the tag at 90° rotation
4.
(right angles to tag feed) rather than down the tag at 0°
rotation (parallel to tag feed).
Avoid boxes or other graphics with long vertical
5.
(parallel to tag feed) lines.
Combine text into fewer lines. A single long line of
6.
text is more efficient than several short lines of text (at
90° rotation).
Keep graphics/logo X-scale and Y-scale factors equal
7.
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™.
