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.
Examples: Times, Univers.
ips “inches-per-second” See “print speed.”
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 opera
-
tor. While it detects this label, the printer will 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 which is discarded or recycled by the end-users. Label
backing (or liner) has a non-stick surface which 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, and roll.
media sensor This sensor is located behind the printhead to detect the pres-
ence of media and, for non-continuous media, the position of the web, hole,
notch, or mark that separates each label.
media supply hanger The hanger that supports media rolls and provides
consistent media feed to the printhead.
non-volatile memory Electronic memory that retains data even when
power is removed.
print speed The speed at which printing occurs. For thermal transfer print
-
ers, this speed is expressed in terms of ips (inches per second).
printhead wear The degradation of the surface of the printhead and/or the
print elements over time. Heat and abrasion can cause printhead wear.
Therefore, to maximize the life of your printhead use the lowest print dark
-
ness setting (sometimes called burn temperature or head temperature) and
