The final 1 inch of the label is imaged into the second image band. Printing
continues from the third band. At this point, the label has been completely
imaged but printing has not finished.
After the third image band is emptied, printing continues from the first image
band.
Imaging of a second label could begin in the third image band while the first
label is still printing. The second label could begin printing immediately after
the first with no delay, which suggests that the only print delay encountered
would be during the time when the first bands of the first label were imaged.
As labels become more complex, the influence that print speed and the number
of buffers has on throughput is limited by imaging speed. New considerations
come in to play, such as delay between printing and perceived printer
performance. Unfortunately, there is no formula to use to calculate an ideal
configuration. Instead, it will have to be found through trial and error by the
user.
