Epson TM-T88V slow with JavaPOS

Question

I'm using Epson JavaPOS to print a receipt with Epson TM-T88V ethernet version. Also printing some stupid data with prt.printNormal() the print is very very slow both on Windows 7 and Windows Xp. Instead printing the test page using Windows driver, the print is very fast!!

Maybe is a limit of JavaPOS?

Thanks

In the end I solved the problem by myself. The problem was due to the fact that you need to use transaction to use the full speed of the printer. So something like this:

printer.transactionPrint(POSPrinterConst.PTR_S_RECEIPT, POSPrinterConst.PTR_TP_TRANSACTION);

and

printer.transactionPrint(POSPrinterConst.PTR_S_RECEIPT, POSPrinterConst.PTR_TP_NORMAL);

This solves the problem permanently.
