Reducing the imaging time increases throughput. You can also
increase the baud rate to increase the transmission time and
increase throughput. Make sure the communication settings at
the printer match those at the host. Using a baud rate of 19200 is
almost twice as fast as 9600 baud. Using a baud rate of 38400 is
almost twice as fast as 19200 baud.

The following tips and hints are helpful to keep in mind when

◆ Leave parameters blank that you do not need to change when
sending online configuration packets. For example,
{
I,A,,,,1 p } prints a slashed zero and uses the last sent
online system setup parameters.
You can group fields with similar parameters. For example
T,1,10,V,250,50,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0 p
T,2,15,,,75 p
T,3,,,,100 p
The first text field sets all the parameters for that field. The
second text field’s number of characters and column location
changes from what was defined in the first field. In the third text
field, only the column location is changed. This method can be
used on bar code and constant text fields as well.
You should understand the basics of each
field before using this method.
After you modify any fields or parameters with the optional entry
method, resend the format, batch, or configuration packet to the
printer.
