Start Print

The ^SP (Start Print) instruction allows a label to start printing at a

specified point before the entire label has been completely formatted.

On extremely complex labels, this instruction can increase the overall

throughput of the print.

The instruction works as follows. You specify the dot row at which

the ^SP instruction is to take affect. This then creates a label ‘segment.’

Once the ^SP instruction is processed, all information in that segment

will be printed. During the printing process, all of the instructions

after the ^SP will continue to be received and processed by the

printer.

If the segment after the ^SP instruction (or the remainder of the label)

is ready for printing, media motion does not stop. If the next segment

is not ready, the printer will stop “mid-label” and wait for the next

segment to be completed. Precise positioning of the ^SP instruction

is somewhat of a trial-and-error process as it depends primarily on

print speed and label complexity.

The ^SP instruction can be effectively used to determine the worst

case print quality. You can determine if using the ^SP instruction is

appropriate for the particular application by using the following pro-

cedure. If you send the label format up to the first ^SP instruction

and then wait for printing to stop before sending the next segment, the

printed label will be a sample of the worst case print quality. It will

also drop any field that is out of order.

NOTE: If you use the procedure in the above paragraph, the end of

the label format must be as follows:
