Print Speed Limits

Validation Report Type

Another factor that limits print speed is the type of validation report selected. The printer automatically examines the selected report type and sets the defined maximum slew (vertical paper movement) and print speeds to insure proper operation. If the current speed selected in the menus is higher than the maximum, the value is changed to equal the maximum. If the current menu setting is lower than the newly set maximum, no change in speed occurs.

Next bar code

Minimum Code Gap represents the distance between the closest bar codes within a print job. The distance is measured from the bottom of one bar code to the top of the next bar code. The closest bar codes can be located on two separate labels or on the same label.

This distance is important because it affects how fast the Print Speed can be set. If the bottom-most bar code on one label is very close to the top-most bar code on the next label, the printer could have trouble distinguishing which bar code correlates with which label. To avoid the risk of miscorrelation, the printer automatically set its Print Speed.
