Performance Tab

The Performance tab, located on the Printer Code Template Options dialog, specifies how BarTender will take advantage of built-in printer capabilities when using a Seagull printer driver.

Printer Optimizations

• Allow Static Graphics. Specifies that BarTender will use the printer's static graphics feature to store the specifications for all raster-type graphic objects that print out exactly the same from item to item, including TrueType fonts.

• Allow Static Objects. Specifies that BarTender will use the printer's static objects feature to store the specifications for ALL objects that print out exactly the same from item to item, whether or not they are raster graphics. This includes printer fonts, barcodes, imported graphics, and TrueType fonts.

• Allow Serialization. Specifies that BarTender will use the built-in incrementing capabilities of the specified printer whenever appropriate. (This option cannot be turned off when you are exporting a printer code template.)

  Keep in mind that TrueType fonts are transmitted to thermal printers as graphics, rather than downloaded fonts. Since thermal printers can only increment data when it is being handled as a font, a TrueType font cannot be incremented using the printer's built-in serialization capabilities. If you want to serialize an object on your template, and take advantage of your printer's serialization capabilities, you must use one of your printer's built-in fonts.

• Allow Variable Data Optimization. Specifies that BarTender will use the printer's data merge feature to store the formatting specifications (object positions, symbology, fonts, etc.) so that only object data needs to be transmitted.
