The Print Method Options dialog, accessible from the Print Method button on the Symbology and Size property page, enables you to specify how your barcodes will be printed when you are using a thermal printer with Drivers by Seagull™. The default setting will work best for almost every purpose, so it is rarely necessary to modify this option.

Barcode

• Barcodes and human readable text controlled by the printer: Prints barcodes at the highest possible speed by using the printer's built-in barcode and text capabilities.

• Barcodes and human readable text controlled by BarTender: Although this setting gives you the best WYSIWYG printing of the barcode and the human readable characters, it will cause the items to print out more slowly (sometimes significantly), especially when using a serial port. Barcodes are generated and sent to the printer as bitmaps, rather than using the printer's built-in barcode capabilities.

• Barcodes controlled by the printer and text controlled by BarTender: Prints barcodes at high speed using the printer's built-in barcode capabilities but still gives you the best selection of fonts for the human readable characters. (Default setting)
