About Printing
•A print job is not printed until it is completely downloaded to the printer.
•Print jobs are printed in the order they are received.
•If multiple copies of a print job are requested, they are positioned next to each other down the length of the roll, regardless of the width of the image.
•It takes the same amount of time to print (expose the paper) a length of 6.5 inches as it does to print 33 inches.
Image Size
The minimum image length is 6.5 inches (1625 pixels). White space is automatically added to images smaller than 6.5 inches to increase the image size to this minimum.
The minimum sheet length is 8 inches. A sheet that is cut for an image less than this size will have white space added to it to increase it to this minimum length.
The maximum image length is approximately 33 inches (8248 pixels).
Buffered and Unbuffered Jobs (or Immediate and
Deferred)
Jobs can be stored in memory when downloaded from the host until enough jobs are downloaded to maximize the printing that occurs during the print cycle.
Most host applications have an option to indicate whether to print the job as soon as it completes downloading to the printer or to wait until the printer has a full buffer to print.
If the print job is sent to the printer with the Unbuffered/Immediate option, the job will be printed as soon as it completes downloading to the printer. Regardless of the number of (or size of) the jobs in the printer waiting to print, jobs sent with this option are printed separately.
