APPENDIX 4  GLOSSARIES 
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, Transpor tation, 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. 
 
Black mark  
A mark printed on the media so that the printer can 
maintain a constant print position by detecting this 
mark. 
 
Black mark sensor  
A reflective sensor which detects the difference of 
potential between the black mark and print area to 
find the print start position.  
 
Cut mode 
Printer mode of operation where an optional cutter 
module is installed to automatically cut media from 
the supply 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.  
 
Cutter module 
A device used to cut the media.   
 
DPI 
Dot Per Inch 
The unit used to express print density.  
 
Expansion I/O interface 
An optional interface circuit that may be installed 
into the B-852 printer to allow the printer to be 
connected 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 gap between labels and 
the label to find the print position of the label.   
 
Font 
A complete set of alphanumeric characters in one 
style of type.  E.g. Helvetica, Courier, Times 
 
Gap  
Clearance between labels 
 
IPS 
Inch per second 
The unit used to express print speed. 
 
LCD 
Liquid Crystal Display 
Installed on the operation panel and displays 
operation modes, error message and so on.   
 
Label 
A type of media with adhesive backing. 
 
Media 
Material on which data is  printed by the printer.  
Label, tag paper, fanfold  paper, perforated paper, 
etc. 
 
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. 
 
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.

Print speed 
The speed at which printing occurs.  This speed is 
expressed in units of ips (inches per second). 
 
Reflective sensor 
See Black mark sensor.  
 
Resolution  
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 
 
Ribbon 
An inked film used to transfer an image onto the 
media.  In the thermal tran sfer printing, it is heated 
by the thermal print head , causing an image to be 
transferred onto the media 
 
Supply 
Media and ribbon 
 
Supply holder 
This unit holds a media roll at the rear of the 
printer so that the media is fed toward the print 
head. 
 
Tag  
A type of media having no adhesive backing but 
black marks to indicate the print area.  Usually tags 
are made of cardboard or other durable material.  
 
Thermal direct printing 
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. 
  
Thermal print head 
A print head using thermal transfer or thermal 
direct printing method.  
 
Thermal transfer printing 
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.   
 
 
 
 
Threshold setting 
A sensor setting operation to have the printer 
maintain a constant prin t position of pre-printed 
media.   
 
Transmissive sensor 
See Feed gap sensor. 
 
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.  
 
Web printer 
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 .
