Controls what the printer does with buffered data:

<ESC>&P<6><0>	Spool all data before printing
<ESC>&P<6><1>	Print text at once but spool graphic data
<ESC>&P<6><2>	Print graphic data but spool text
<ESC>&P<6><3>	Print both text and graphic at once

Spooling all data makes the printer as quiet as possible. “Nothing” happens until the buffer is full or a print triggering command is received. The result is that when the printer prints it feeds the paper at a constant pace. A drawback may be that the printer seems dead for a while before starting to print.

Print at once gives the fastest printout because the printer prints as soon as it finds some white space across the paper and then stops to buffer new data. This generates an on/off sound which may be more irritating than the even buzz that you get when you buffer data.

Experiment with the setting and decide what is best for your application.

Note •

• The burn time setting has priority over the speed setting, so if you increase the burn time the speed will go down to an appropriate setting.

•DRV indicates that, when using Windows, the driver takes over this setting so please set appropriate value in the driver properties/document defaults.

A long burn time gives darker print. On insensitive paper types you may have to increase the burn time to get an acceptable print quality.
