GLOSSARIES

Pre-printed media

A type of media on which characters, logos, and other designs have been already printed.

Print head element

The thermal print head consists of a single line of tiny resistive elements and 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 to ordinary paper.

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 degree of detail to which an image can be duplicated. The minimum unit of divided image is called a pixel. As the resolution becomes higher, the number of pixels increased, resulting in more detailed image

Ribbon

An inked film used to transfer an image onto the media. In the thermal transfer printing, it is heated by the thermal print head, causing an image to be transferred onto the media

Strip mode

A device used to remove labels from the backing paper.

Supply

Media and ribbon

Tag

A type of media with no adhesive. Usually tags are made of cardboard or other durable material.

Thermal direct printing

A printing method using no ribbon, but thermal media which reacts to heat. The thermal print head heats the thermal media directly, causing print image to be printed on the media.

Thermal print head

A print head using thermal transfer or thermal direct printing method.

Thermal transfer printing

A printing method that the thermal print head heats an ink or resin coating on the ribbon against the media, causing the ink/resin to transfer onto the media.

Threshold setting

A sensor setting operation to have the printer maintain a constant print position of pre-printed media.

Transmissive sensor

See Feed gap sensor.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

An interface that is used to connect peripherals, such as a printer, keyboard, mouse. The USB allows disconnection of a USB device without turning off the power.
