How is this technique implemented?
I noticed that they(like Bartender) don't directly concatenate commands like ZPL (etc.).
And also they don't use bitmap(GDI,GDI+ images) transfer to printer-driver.
Printer-based Serialization In print jobs that include serial numbers, many printers can accept a starting value and the incremental step size. When you use this printer-based serialization, you can print a large number of serialized items without having to send any data after the first label.
Printer-based Barcodes Printers that have built-in barcode functionality make it possible for software programs to request complex barcodes by using simple text strings (such as “1234”). This process is much faster than sending bitmap images (or pictures) of barcodes that consume hundreds or thousands of extra bytes per printed item. (When you use software other than BarTender, our driver fonts give you some limited functionality.)
