ribbon A band of material consisting of a

base film coated with wax or resin “ink”.

The inked side of the material is pressed

by the printhead against the media. The

ribbon transfers ink onto the media when

heated by the small elements within the

printhead. Zebra ribbons have a coating

on the back that protects the printhead

from wear.

ribbon wrinkle A wrinkling of the rib-

bon caused by improper alignment or

improper printhead pressure. This wrinkle

can cause voids in the print and/or the

used ribbon to rewind unevenly. This

condition should be corrected by per-

forming adjustment procedures.

roll media Media that comes supplied

rolled onto a core (usually cardboard).

Contrast this with fanfold media.

supplies A general term for media and

ribbon.

symbology The term generally used

when referring to a bar code.

tag A type of media having no adhesive

backing but featuring a hole or notch by

which the tag can be hung on something.

Tags are usually made of cardboard or

other durable material.

tear-off A mode of operation in which

the user can tear the label or tag stock

away from the remaining media by hand.

thermal direct (See direct thermal.)

thermal transfer A printing method in

which the printhead presses an ink or

resin coated ribbon against the media.

Heating the printhead elements causes the

ink or resin to transfer onto the media. By

selectively heating the printhead elements

as the media and ribbon move past, an

image is printed onto the media. Contrast

this with direct thermal.

void A space where printing should have

occurred, but did not due to an error con-

dition such as wrinkled ribbon or faulty

print elements. A void can cause a printed

bar code symbol to be read incorrectly or

not at all.
