Optimizing Image Bands for Batch Printing

If you frequently print batches of identical labels (using the <US> command),
you may want to optimize the number of image bands for batch printing. This
is especially helpful if you experience delays between the printing of each label.
To optimize the number of image bands for batch printing, you must select
enough image memory to allow the printer to retain the entire label image
PLUS ONE INCH (one image band is equal to 1 inch). Therefore, if the printed
image stops at a distance of 4 inches from the beginning of the label, you must
select five image bands to prevent reimaging.
Note: If you use the quantity count command <RS> instead of <US>, the printer
software assumes that each label is different and will reimage every time a label is
printed.

Configuring the Label Width

Label Width redefines the vertical origin of the printed image. Setting this
command lets the printer reposition the image when media width changes. If
you are printing in a page format, the label width may extend across more than
one label. See the following figure for an illustration of measuring across single
and multiple (page format) labels.
