diagnostics Information about which printer functions are not working - used for troubleshooting printer problems.

die-cut labels See non-continuous media.

direct thermal A printing method in which the printhead presses directly against the media. Heating the printhead elements causes a discoloration of the heat-sensitive coating on the media. By selec- tively heating the printhead elements as the media moves past, an image is printed onto the media. No ribbon is used with this print- ing method. Contrast this with thermal transfer.

direct thermal media Media that is coated with a substance which reacts to the application of direct heat from the printhead to produce an image.

fanfold media Media that comes folded in a rectangular stack. Contrast this with roll media.

font A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one style of type. Ex: CG Times™, CG Triumvirate Bold Condensed™.

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 will not print additional labels. Once the label has been removed from the printer,the next label is printed. Also called the “take-label sensor”.

label backing (label liner) The material on which labels are affixed during manufacture and which is discarded or recycled by the end-users.

media Material onto which data is printed by the printer. Types of media include: tagstock, die-cut labels, continuous (with and with- out backing material), fanfold, and roll.

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 used to indicate the start of each label.

media supply hanger The stationary arm that supports the media roll.
