APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES Printer IP address A 32-bit address of a printer connected to TCP/IP network, which identifies the printer. An IP address is written as 4 sets of numbers, separated by full stops. For example 192.168.10.20. Print head element The thermal print head consists of a single line of tiny resistive elements. When current is allowed to flow through each element it heats up causing a small dot to be burned onto thermal paper or a small dot of ink to be transferred from a thermal ribbon. Print speed The speed at which printing occurs. This speed is expressed in units of IPS (inches per second). Reflective sensor See Black mark sensor. Resolution The number of individual dots a printer can produce within a unit of distance. Printer resolution measured in Dots per Inch. As the number of dots per inch increases, the resolution increases, resulting in a more detailed image. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag. The tag can be encapsulating inside a label which can also be printed on. RFID is very useful for object identification and tracking. Ribbon An inked film used to transfer an image or text onto media. In thermal transfer printing, it is heated by the print head, causing an image to be transferred onto the media. Strip mode The printer removes labels from the backing paper. After each issue the printer stops until the label is removed. Once the label is removed the next label will be issued and so on. Supplies Media and ribbon APPENDIX 4 GLOSSARIES Tag A type of media with no adhesive, usually made from cardboard or other durable material. Thermal direct printing A printing method using no ribbon and thermal media which reacts to heat. The print head makes direct contact with the media producing text or images. Thermal print head A print head using thermal transfer or thermal direct printing method. Thermal transfer printing A printing method where the thermal print head heats an ink or resin coated ribbon against the media. The ink/resin is then transferred onto the media. Threshold setting A sensor setting that allows the printer to maintain a consistent print position of pre-printed media. Transmissive sensor See Gap sensor. USB (Universal Serial Bus) An interface that is used to connect peripherals, such as a printer, keyboard, mouse to computer or host. The USB port may allow disconnection of a USB device without turning off the power. Web printer The web printer function allows you to browse the printer status on the PC, issue media, check or change the settings, or download firmware to the printer. EA4- 2

EA4- 2

Printer IP address

A 32-bit address of a printer connected to TCP/IP

network, which identifies the printer.

An IP

address is written as 4 sets of numbers, separated

by full stops.

For example 192.168.10.20.

Print head element

The thermal print head consists of a single line of

tiny resistive elements.

When current is allowed to

flow through each element it heats up causing a

small dot to be burned onto thermal paper or a

small dot of ink to be transferred from a thermal

ribbon.

Print speed

The speed at which printing occurs.

This speed is

expressed in units of IPS (inches per second).

Reflective sensor

See Black mark sensor.

Resolution

The number of individual dots a printer can

produce within a unit of distance.

Printer

resolution measured in Dots per Inch.

As the

number of dots per inch increases, the resolution

increases, resulting in a more detailed image.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to

exchange data between a reader and an

electronic tag.

The tag can be encapsulating

inside a label which can also be printed on.

RFID is very useful for object identification and

tracking.

Ribbon

An inked film used to transfer an image or text

onto media.

In thermal transfer printing, it is

heated by the print head, causing an image to be

transferred onto the media.

Strip mode

The printer removes labels from the backing paper.

After each issue the printer stops until the label is

removed.

Once the label is removed the next label

will be issued and so on.

Supplies

Media and ribbon

Tag

A type of media with no adhesive, usually made

from cardboard or other durable material.

Thermal direct printing

A printing method using no ribbon and thermal

media which reacts to heat.

The print head makes

direct contact with the media producing text or

images.

Thermal print head

A print head using thermal transfer or thermal

direct printing method.

Thermal transfer printing

A printing method where the thermal print head

heats an ink or resin coated ribbon against the

media.

The ink/resin is then transferred onto the

media.

Threshold setting

A sensor setting that allows the printer to maintain

a consistent print position of pre-printed media.

Transmissive sensor

See Gap sensor.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

An interface that is used to connect peripherals,

such as a printer, keyboard, mouse to computer or

host.

The USB port may allow disconnection of a

USB device without turning off the power.

Web printer

The web printer function allows you to browse the

printer status on the PC, issue media, check or

change the settings, or download firmware to the

printer.
