The speed at which printing occurs.  This speed is 
expressed in units of ips (inches per second). 

The degree of detail to which an image can be 
duplicated.  The minimum unit of divided image is 
called a pixel.  As the resolution becomes higher, 
the number of pixels increased, resulting in more 
detailed image 
 

A method of automatically identifying people or 
objects using radio waves.  In case of the B-SX 
series, the RFID module writes digital information 
to an RFID tag mounted inside labels or tag paper 
while the printer is printing data on them.  The 
RFID tag is a microchip attached to an antenna.  
The microchip holds data and the antenna enables 
the tag to send and receive data. 

An inked film used to transfer an image onto the 
media.  In the thermal transfer printing, it is heated 
by the thermal print head, causing an image to be 
transferred onto the media. 
 

 

By moving the print head up and down with a 
solenoid, the ribbon saving module saves loss of 
the ribbon as far as possible. 
 

One of the printer modes of operation where an 
optional strip module is installed to separate 
printed labels from the backing paper one by one. 
 

A device used to remove labels from the backing 
paper. 

Media and ribbon 
 

A type of media with no adhesive.  Usually tags 
are made of cardboard or other durable material.  

 

A printing method using no ribbon, but thermal 
media which reacts to heat.  The thermal print head 
heats the thermal media directly, causing print 
image to be printed on the media. 
  

A print head using thermal transfer or thermal 
direct printing method.  
 

A printing method that the thermal print head heats 
an ink or resin coating on the ribbon against the 
media, causing the ink/resin to transfer onto the 
media.   
 

A sensor setting operation to have the printer 
maintain a constant print position of pre-printed 
media.   
 
USB (Universal Serial Bus) 
An interface that is used to connect peripherals, 
such as a printer, keyboard, mouse.  The USB 
allows disconnection of a USB device without 
turning off the power.  
 

The web printer function allows you to browse the 
printer status on the PC, issue media, check or 
change the settings, or download the firmware to 
the printer.  For details, refer to the Network 
Specification.
