Pause between printing bar codes in bar code printer...

edited March 2004 in General
I have a printer of bar codes "Sebra" and made a report with Report Builder
6.03 that prints bar codes and the printer makes a small pause between
imprsion of each bar code ... Why it happend?
With the software "BarTender" the bar codes are sent without making pause
between each bar code.
Any suggestions?.
What can I do?
Thanks.

    Hi Jairzinhio,

    Are you printing multiple copies of the same report to the printer? If so,
    you can let the printer handle the multiple copies by setting the
    Report.PrinterSetup.DelegateCopies property to True.

    No, I'm not printing multiple copies of the same report, I'm only have a
    detal band with a bar code inside...
    The papaer with the Labels looks like that (only one column).

    Hi Jairzinhio,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Be sure you are not
    performing any operations during report generation. As a test, try
    commenting out all your event handler code and re-run the report. If this
    solves the problem, then try re-adding the event code periodically to
    isolate the code causing this behavior.

    Jairzinhio,

    Unfortunately I have never seen this behavior before. ReportBuilder is
    designed so that when printing, it will generate and send an entire page to
    the printer at a time. If you are experiencing pauses in the middle of
    pages, there is either some of your own code being executed at this time or
    you have a corrupt install. If possible, please send a small example of the
    report you are trying to print to support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip
    format and I'll try to print it from my machine.
