Key
The button on a panel that may be pressed to send an electrical signal to influence a
predetermined activity.
Keyed
A physical object shaped in a manner so as to prevent unwanted movement or to ensure
desired movement.
Kg (Kilogram) A unit of weight measure within the metric system.
Kilo-Bytes Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1000 bytes.
Knob
A rounded handle to facilitate the manual opening, closing, securing, or otherwise movement
of the object to which it is attached.
Knurled An item that has recessed grooves or elevated areas on its surface to increase manual grip.
Label Print media that has been used or printed upon that has adhesive on one side.
LAN Interface
(Local Area Network) A computer network limited to the immediate area, consequently
capable of transmitting data at a very fast rate. Usually the computer is limited to the same
building, or floor of a building, as the periphery device.
Latch
An object that is designed to be moved from one position to another for the purpose of
preventing or allowing the opening of another object.
Lateral Movement to the left or to the right - horizontal movement.
LCD
(Liquid Crystal Display) A display technology involving optical glass panels whose opacity can
be controlled by electrical signals. A liquid crystal surface is sandwiched between two
polarizing panels and when voltage is applied to certain areas, the crystal darkens. A light
source behind the panel transmits through the transparent crystals and is mostly blocked by
the darkened ones.
LED
(Light Emitting Diode) A semiconductor light source that emits visible light or invisible infrared
radiation. The color of the emitted light depends on the chemical composition of the
semiconducting material used.
Lever An object that turns on a fixed point usually to engage or disengage a latch.
Laminate A film or sheet placed onto and adhered flatly over another material.
Life
Relative to RFID, the functional period within which maintenance, adjustment, and repair is not
reasonably expected.
Linear The measurement of length without consideration of other dimensions.
Linerless Media
Print media that does not have a space between each label as does the eye-mark and gap
type media. This media is continuous and is divided based on printer programming.
Link
An active connection to another document, graphic, or address. By selecting the designated
button, text, graphic, or screen location; one is taken to the predetermined linked location.
M (Meter) A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 39.37 inches.
MB
(Megabytes) Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1
million bytes depending on the manner of compression.
MM (Millimeter) A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 0.03937 (1/25) inches.
Media In printing, a batch of unprinted labels or tags.
Megabytes
Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1 million bytes
depending on the manner of compression.
Menu A display of items that may be chosen.
Meter A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 39.37 inches.
Millimeter A unit of measure in the metric system equal to 0.03937 (1/25) inches.
Module A self-contained unit that may be plugged into another unit to operate.
Multimeter A device that is used to measure output units relating to electrical current.
Memory Card Relative to RFID, a read/write or reprogrammable tag in credit card size.
Memory Modules A read/write or reprogrammable RFID tag.
Mobile Inventory Vehicle
In RFID, a vehicle equipped with a system for locating tagged vehicles, containers, and other
objects for the purpose of inventory control.
