Working as designed I'd say....

I'm surprised that you get the first 37 out in order :)

Why do you do it as 300 separate jobs? If you want them guaranteed to
be in order, you'd need to do it as 1 job. Or at least make sure only
1 job is running at a time. (but in that case there's no reason to
make 300 jobs in the first place! :) )

If you broke it up into fewer jobs, say 3 or 10...you'd at least get a
bigger run, 100 or 30, respectively of in-order labels.

HTH,

Sent labels generated through T.L. Ashford software to a Zebra Z4M plus
label printer in a certain sequence and the printed sequence was not the
sequence generated by the host (AS/400).

Labels have text string like "Carton 1 of (300)".  After about 37 labels
or so, the sequence changes so carton 37 of 300 is followed by carton 61
of 300, carton 38 of 300, carton 42 of 300, carton 40 of 300, cartons
41,63,42,43,64,44, 45, 65, 46, 47, 66, 48, 84, 49, 67, 50, 51, and 68
etc., of 300.



A 10/100 Zebra print server is attached to the printer and the parallel
port is set to "nibble".  Each label is a separate print job so there
were 300 spooled files.  Issue is easily replicated. Only happens on
larger print jobs, lets say 25 or more.





Anyone have a suggestion?
