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 the 
printhead, use the lowest print darkness setting (sometimes called burn temperature or head 
temperature) and the lowest printhead pressure necessary to produce good print quality. In the 
thermal transfer printing method, use ribbon that is as wide or wider than the media to protect 
the printhead from the rough media surface.

registration  Alignment of printing with respect to the top (vertical) or sides (horizontal) of a 
label or tag.

symbology  The term generally used when referring to a bar code.

tear-off  A mode of operation in which the user tears the label or tag stock away from the 
remaining media by hand.

thermal transfer  A printing method in which the printhead presses an ink or resin coated 
ribbon against the media. Heating the printhead elements causes the ink or resin to transfer 
onto the media. By selectively heating the printhead elements as the media and ribbon move 
past, an image is printed onto the media. Contrast this with 

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)  WPA is a security protocol for wireless local area 
networks (WLANs) that includes encryption and user authentication.

Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP)  WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area 
networks (WLANs) that secures data transmissions using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
