Re: SLOW printing on IBM 4400 IPDS Label Printer

No experience with that printer, but if using psf/400 then the memory pool *spool needs decent amt of memory. One of the redbooks 'Printing xx' (not sure which) had statements on this. If sysval qpfradj is on, it's reaction is too slow for printing, 
so you may need to allocate memory to that pool.

Have a customer with an IBM 4400-006 Thermal Label printer.
LAN connected, configured as IPDS printer.
They finally sorted their issues with the gap width spacing between labels, but they can not seem to get any more than 3 labels printing per minute. The printer has a configuration setting Media Handling=Tear-off Strip yet the printer seems to position itself to the tear strip after EVERY label (something that the setting Media Handlling=Tear Off is supposed to do, not when you have it set to Tear-off Strip which is supposed to print a set of labels (the whole spool file presumably) then position to the tear-off bar when the printer buffer is empty). 

Anyone have any idea how to speed these things up?
