firmware This is the term used to specify

the print engine’s operating program.

This program is downloaded to the print

engine from a host computer and stored in

FLASH memory. Each time the print

engine power is turned on, this operating

program starts. This program controls

when to feed the media forward or back-

ward, when to print a dot on the label

stock, when to activate the cutter, etc.

flash memory FLASH memory is non-

volatile and will maintain the stored

information intact when power is off.

This memory area is used to store the

print engine’s operating program. In addi-

tion this memory can be used to store

optional print engine fonts, graphic for-

mats, and complete label formats.

font A complete set of alphanumeric

characters in one style of type. Ex: CG

Timesä, CG Triumvirate Bold Con-

densedä.

ips “inches-per-second” The speed at

which the label or tag is printed. Zebra

offers print engines that can print from

2 ips to 12 ips.

label An adhesive-backed piece of paper,

plastic, or other material on which infor-

mation is printed.

label backing (label liner) The material

on which labels are affixed during manu-

facture and which is discarded or recycled

by the end-users.

liquid crystal display The LCD is a

back-lit display which provides the user

with either operating status during normal

operation or option menus when config-

uring the print engine to a specific appli-

cation.

light emitting diode LEDs are used as

indicators of specific print engine status

conditions. Each LED will be either off,

on, or blinking depending on the feature

being monitored.

lock-up This is the term generally used to

describe a fault condition that, for appar-

ently unknown reasons, causes the print

engine to stop working.

media Material onto which data is

printed by the print engine. Types of

media include: tag-stock, die-cut labels,

continuous (with and without backing

material), 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, or

notch used to indicate the start of each

label.

non-continuous media Consumable

printing stock which contains an indica-

tion of where one label/printed format

ends and the next one begins. Examples

are die-cut labels, notched tag-stock, and

stock with black mark registration marks

non-volatile memory Electronic mem-

ory that retains data even when the power

to the print engine is turned OFF.

notched media A type of tag stock con-

taining a cutout area that can be sensed as

a start-of-label indicator by the print

engine. This is typically a heavier, card-

board-like material which is either cut or

torn away from the next tag. (See non-

continuous media.)

print speed The speed at which printing

occurs. For thermal transfer print engines,

this speed is expressed in terms of ips

(inches per second). Zebra offers print

engines that can print from 2 ips to 12 ips.

print engine configuration (See config-

uration.)

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 tempera-

ture) 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 of a label or tag.

rewind A mode of operation in which the

label and backing material are wound

onto a spindle within the print engine and

then dispensed for use in a separate pro-

cess. The rewind option must be installed

to operate in this mode.
