Appendix A

The final 1 inch of the label is imaged into the second image band. Printing continues from the third band. At this point, the label has been completely imaged but printing has not finished.

After the third image band is emptied, printing continues from the first image band.

Imaging of a second label could begin in the third image band while the first label is still printing. The second label could begin printing immediately after the first with no delay, which suggests that the only print delay encountered would be during the time when the first bands of the first label were imaged.

As labels become more complex, the influence that print speed and the number of buffers has on throughput is limited by imaging speed. New considerations come in to play, such as delay between printing and perceived printer performance. Unfortunately, there is no formula to use to calculate an ideal configuration. Instead, it will have to be found through trial and error by the user.
