For many applications it is important to accelerate the execution speed of SAMLight. The following SAMLight settings show how this can be done:

1st option:  Enable the following check boxes at SAMLight menu bar Settings → System → General :

Disable UNDO: Speeds up SAMLight for all entity generating and editing processes as the UNDO and REDO functionality is disabled completely. Depending on the size and complexity of a job, this option can save a considerable amount of memory usage and computing time.

Disable Compression: can help to save big job files on computer systems with low main memory.

Don't update view: can help to save processing time, when entities are updates (date/time and serial number entities, reimport of bitmaps, ...)

2nd option: In case the used job file contains text entities like Text2D, serial number, date/time or bar code entities with text the following check box at Text2D property page → Extended settings should be deactivated.

Generate single characters: deactivating this check box can accelerate the generation or  all kind of text entities, especially if many text entities are used in a job file.

3rd option: In case SAMLight Client Control programming is used for automating and remote controlling of SAMLight, the SAMLight Client Control commands and constants described at Optimize Performance can be used.
