Previewing Pictures

Whenyouplaceapictureonthelabel,indesignmodeitisalwaysshownincolor-depthasdefined

inthepicture.

However,whenpreviewingthelabelson-screen,thepreviewofthepicturesdependsonthedith-

eringoptionsetintheprinterdriver.Allcolorpictures(exceptWMFandEMFfiles)areconverted

tomonochromeimages.Theillusionofcolorsandshadesofgreyisaccomplishedbyvaryingthepat-

ternofdots.Moredotsclosetogetherwillprovidedarkershadeofgrey.

Thepreviewofthelabelwillshowpicturesinthesamewayastheywillbeprintedaccordinglyto

theditheringsetting.Moreaccurateprintpreviewisguaranteedthisway.

Ifthepictureisnotpreviewedasyouwouldliketoprintit,changetheditheringsettingintheprinter

driver.

Optimize the Printing Speed

Therearemanyfactorsthataffecttheprintingspeed.Byfollowingtheguidelinesbelowyoucandra-

maticallyincreasethespeedofprinting:

l Ifyourprintersupportsparallelandserialport,usetheparallelport.Computercansend

datatoprinteroverparallelportmuchfasterthanoverserialport.

l Useprinter'sinternalfontsinsteadofWindows'true-typefonts.True-typefontsmustbe

senttoprinterasgraphicsandthereforethesizeofdatasenttoprinterismuchbigger

(coupleofkilobytes).Whenusinginternalfonts,onlythetextissenttoprinter(coupleof

bytes).Ifyoumustusetrue-typefonts,usetheNiceMemMasterprogram,todownload

thesefontstoprinter'smemoryandlateraccessthesefontsasinternalprinterfonts(only

ifyourprintersupportsthis).

l Avoiduseofgraphicsonlabels.Ifyoumustprintgraphicsonlabels,usetheNice-

MemMasterprogramtodownloadthesegraphicstoprinter'sinternalmemory(onlyif

yourprintersupportsthis).

l Whenusingbarcodes,makesurethatyoudon'tprintbarcodesasgraphics,ifyour

printersupportsprintingbarcodes.

l Whenusingcounters,theprinterwillinternallyincrementthenumbersiftheinternal

fontsareused.(ifsupportedbytheprinter)Thismeans,thattheprinterwillonlyreceive

thefirstnumberofobject,andwilllaterincrementthisnumbertoprintotherlabels.

Usingthisoptionalsoreducestheamountofdatatransferredbetweencomputerand

printer,butthedifferenceisnoticeableonlywithhighquantityoflabels.

l Settheprintingspeedtoahighervalue(ifyourprintersupportsit).Notethatsettingthe

printingspeedusuallyaffectsthequalityofprinting.Thehigherthespeed,thelowerthe

quality.Youwillhavetofindanacceptablecompromiseforthis.

l Don'tprinttoomuchdataonlabels.Ifthespeedofprintingisanimportantfactor,you

shouldconsiderusingpreprintedlabels,andonlyprintthedata,thatisdifferentoneach

label.
