Using printer internal counter

Problem

If you use Loftware counter, Loftware sends data to the printer separately for each label, which increases the amount of data sent to the printer and slows down printing.

If your thermal printer supports the internal counter (most of them do), define the printer counter on your labels. Printer counters reduce the amount of data transferred between your computer and printer and speed up the printing.

Solution

By default, the printer counter is enabled in Loftware. In case you made some changes, follow the steps to enable the printer counter:

• Start Loftware Desktop Designer.

• Go to Variables and select Counter.

• Double-click your Counter variable to open the Counter properties window.

• On the General tab in the Printer Counter section, select Use printer counter if supported.

• Click OK.

Important: The printer counter works only if you also use the printer's internal fonts. When you place a text object on your label that you connect with your counter variable, select printer font.
