标签打印机打印速度慢可能是我的软件造成的?
我有一个打印标签的软件。它生成许多包含 n 列的页面,以便在标签打印机(通常是 Argox 或 Zebra)中打印。我使用报告生成器来执行此操作,这意味着我通过 Windows 驱动程序发送作业,而不是直接发送到打印机。
我有一位客户在打印标签时遇到了很大的困难。打印机在一页与另一页之间暂停 15-20 秒。
我已经检查了我能找到的每一个配置,但没有找到任何东西。
更糟糕的是,我的客户使用 Bartender 软件(Argox 附带),并且在那里打印时没有这种延迟。 Bartender 也使用 Windows 驱动程序。
好吧,从我的客户的角度来看,问题出在我的软件上,我不怪她。
从我的角度来看,一旦我使用驱动程序,我就无法控制这样的事情(页面之间的暂停)。
我错了吗?我可以做些什么来避免这样的延误吗?

I have a software that prints labels. It generates many pages with n columns to be printed in a label printer (commonly Argox or Zebra). I use report builder to do so, meaning I send the jobs through the windows driver and not directly to the printer.
I have this one customer that is having a really hard time printing her labels. The printer pauses for 15-20 seconds between one page and another.
I´ve reviewed each and every configuration I could and did not find anything.
To make my problem worse, my customer uses the Bartender software (wich comes with Argox) and when printing there it has not this delay. Bartender uses the windows driver as well.
Well, from the point of view of my client, the problem is with my software, I don´t blame her.
From my point of view I can´t control such a thing (pause between pages) once I am using the driver.
Am I wrong? Is there anything I could do to avoid such a delay?

您使用的报告软件是否创建 ZPL 输出或位图?您可以通过将打印机驱动程序设置为打印到文件来检查这一点。如果文件很大,>1MB,则它可能正在创建位图,并且可能需要很长时间才能发送到打印机。
如果使用内部字体和条形码,Bartender 将创建 ZPL,因此输出会很小,并且打印机经过优化以打印本机 ZPL。如果您的软件使用打印机上没有的字体(Arial、Times new roman 等),它会将标签作为图形发送,而不是使用打印机的内置字体,这会导致即使是少量的文件也会产生巨大的文件文本。图形也是如此,内联图形与调用图形
Does the report software you use create ZPL output, or a bitmap? You can check this by setting your printer driver to print to a file. If the file is huge, >1MB, it's probably creating a bitmap and that could take a long time to send to the printer.
Bartender would create ZPL if using internal fonts and barcodes, so the output will be tiny and the printer is optimized to print native ZPL. If your software uses fonts not on the printer (Arial, Times new roman, etc), it will send the label down as a graphic instead of using the printer's built in fonts, which would result in a HUGE file even for a small amount of text. Same thing goes for graphics, inlined vs. recalled graphics
