1. A method for printing a label using a variable speed printer, comprising the steps of:

  • optimizing a printing speed of the variable speed printer through a proportional-integral-derivative controller for a new print job based on a print duration and print processing duration history of one or more previously completed print jobs, such that an actual print duration of the new print job is equal to or greater than a print processing duration of a queued print job; and

    automatically adjusting the printing speed based on the optimized printing speed, the variable speed printer executing the new print job at the optimized printing speed and transitioning to printing the subsequently queued print job without having to increase or decrease the printing speed.
