Cutter — A device that can cut each label/tag immediately after it is printed.

Diagnostics — Information about what printer functions are not working. This information is used for troubleshooting problems.

Direct thermal printing — Printing in which direct thermal media is used. No ribbon is used; instead, the media is coated with a substance that reacts to heat to produce an image.

Fanfold media — Media that comes folded in a rectangular stack, rather than on a roll.

Font — A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one style of type. Example: Times, Helvetica.

Ips “inches-per-second”— The speed at which the label or tag is printed. Zebra offers printers that can print from 2 ips to 12 ips.

Label — An adhesive-backed piece of paper, plastic, or other material on which information is printed.

Label available sensor — For printers equipped with the Peel-Off option, this sensor detects a printed label waiting to be taken or “picked” by the operator. While it detects this label, the printer does not print additional labels. Once the label has been taken, printing resumes. Also called “take-label sensor.”

Label backing (label liner) — The material on which labels are affixed during manufacture and that is discarded or recycled by the end-users. Label backing (or liner) has a non-stick surface that allows the label to be easily removed by the end-user and placed in the desired location.

Media — Material onto which data is printed by the printer. Types of media include: tagstock, continuous, fanfold, roll, etc.

Media sensor — This sensor is located behind the printhead to detect the presence of media and, for non-continuous media, the position of the web, hole, or notch that separates each label.
