Setting the Format Number Mode (Ignore Fmt #s)
The printer can respond to or ignore format numbers. Format numbers are used within
the format and batch header in each format and batch packet created. Refer to the
Packet Reference Manual for more information about creating format and batch packets.
When using third-party software packages, use caution if ignoring format numbers,
because print jobs may not print the expected data! If you are not sure how print jobs are
sent, do not enable this option. Call Technical Support for more information.
Select To
Disable The printer responds to all format/batch numbers and images print
jobs as expected.
The printer receives a format, followed by multiple batches
referencing that format (Format/Batch/Batch/Batch). For example:
{F,1.,.} {B,1...} {B,1...} {B,1...}
Enable The printer ignores all format numbers, which may improve imaging
throughput when jobs are sent as format/single batch pairs. The
printer’s buffers are optimized to receive a format, followed by a
single batch that references that format.
The printer may pause between batches to replace the previous
format with the new format. If ignore format numbers is enabled,
this pause may be reduced and image/print jobs faster.
Only enable this option when print jobs are sent as a format,
followed by a single batch referencing that format number and
repeated. For example:
{F,10.,.} {B,10...} {F,10...} {B,10...} {F,10.,.} {B,10...}
Note: The format being sent repeatedly MUST have the same format
number (for example, format 10).
However, enabling this option may have unexpected results. For
example, sending this data:
Format 1 {F,1,...} format number (1) is ignored
Format 2 {F,2,...} format number (2) is ignored
Batch 1 {B,1,...} format number (1) is ignored
Prints with Batch 1 data applied to Format 2, because the printer
ignores the format numbers and associates batches with only the
preceding format.
