Bar code
A code which represents alphanumeric characters
by using a series of black and white stripes in
different widths. Bar codes are used in various
industrial fields: Manufacturing, Hospitals,
Libraries, Retail, Transportation, Warehousing, etc.
Reading bar codes is a fast and accurate means of
capturing data while keyboard entry tends to be
slow and inaccurate.

Batch mode
Issue mode that continuously prints media until the
specified number of media has been printed.
specified number of media has been printed.
Black mark
A mark printed on the media so that the printer can
maintain a constant print position by detecting this
mark.

mark.
Black mark sensor
A reflective sensor which detects the difference of
potential between a black mark and print area to
find the print start position.

find the print start position.
Cut mode
One of the printer modes of operation where an
optional cutter module is installed to automatically
cut media from the media roll after they are printed.
The print command can specify to cut every media
or to cut after a set number of media have been
printed.

DPI
Dot Per Inch
The unit used to express print density.
Expansion I/O Interface
An optional interface circuit that may be installed
into printer to allow the printer to be connecter to
an external device such as a wrapping machine and
to receive feed, print start, and pause signals from
the external device and to send back print, pause,
and error status signals to the external device.

Feed gap sensor
A transmissive sensor which detects the difference
of potential between the label gaps and the label to
find the print position of the label.

Plug and Play
When Plug and Play is enabled, the PC will
automatically identify the printer (if the PC
supports Plug & Play), optimize the system
resource (IRQ and DMA), and display a message
prompting a printer driver installation.

Pre-printed media
A type of media on which characters, logos, and
other designs have been already printed.
other designs have been already printed.
Print head element
The thermal print head consists of a single line of
tiny resistive elements and when current is allowed
to flow through each element it heats up causing a
small dot to be burned onto thermal paper or a
small dot of ink to be transferred from a thermal
ribbon to ordinary paper.
