Zebra S-Series User’s Guide
Tag — A type of media having no adhesive backing but featuring a hole or 
notch by which the tag can be hung.  Usually tags are made of cardboard 
or other durable material.
Take label sensor — See “Label available sensor” on page 92.
Thermal direct printing — See “Direct thermal printing” on page 92.
Thermal transfer printing — A printing method in which the printhead 
heats an ink- or resin-coated ribbon against the media, causing the ink/
resin to transfer onto the media.  By selectively heating the ribbon, you can 
form an image on the media.  See also “Ribbon” on page 93.
Transmissive media sensor — A sensor that is located behind the 
printhead; detects the presence of media and, for non-continuous media, 
the position of the web, hole, or notch that separates each label.
Void — A space where printing should have occurred but, due to some 
error condition, did not occur.  A void can cause a bar code symbol to be 
read incorrectly or not be read at all.
