APPENDIX 5 GLOSSARIES

Bar code

A code which represents alphanumeric characters by using a series of black and white stripes in different widths. Bar codes are used in various industrial fields: Manufacturing, Hospitals, Libraries, Retail, Transportation, Warehousing, etc. Reading bar codes is a fast and accurate means of capturing data while keyboard entry tends to be slow and inaccurate.

Batch mode

Issue mode that continuously prints media until the specified number of media has been printed.

Black mark

A mark printed on the media so that the printer can maintain a constant print position by detecting this mark.

Black mark sensor

A reflective sensor which detects the difference of potential between a black mark and print area to find the print start position.

Cut mode

One of the printer modes of operation where an optional cutter module is installed to automatically cut media from the media roll after they are printed. The print command can specify to cut every media or to cut after a set number of media have been printed.

Cutter module

A device used to cut the media.

DPI

Dot Per Inch

The unit used to express print density.

Expansion I/O Interface

An optional interface circuit that may be installed into printer to allow the printer to be connecter to an external device such as a wrapping machine and to receive feed, print start, and pause signals from the external device and to send back print, pause, and error status signals to the external device.

Feed gap sensor

A transmissive sensor which detects the difference of potential between the label gaps and the label to find the print position of the label.

Font

A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one style of type. E.g. Helvetica, Courier, Times

Gap

Clearance between labels

IPS

Inch per second

The unit used to express print speed.

Label

A type of media with adhesive backing.

LCD

Liquid Crystal Display

Installed on the operation panel and displays operation modes, error message and so on.

Media

Material on which data is printed by the printer. Label, tag paper, fanfold paper, perforated paper, etc.

Plug and Play

When Plug and Play is enabled, the PC will automatically identify the printer (if the PC supports Plug & Play), optimize the system resource (IRQ and DMA), and display a message prompting a printer driver installation.

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.
