GLOSSARIES EO1-33032 GLOSSARIES GLOSSARIES Bar code IPS 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. Inchs per second A unit used to express print speed.
GLOSSARIES EO1-33032 GLOSSARIES Pre-printed label X Axis A type of label on which characters, logos, and other designs have been already printed. In the printer, it is the horizontal position (left and right) of the print on the label. This position may be adjusted by command from the host computer, or by a parameter change on the printer. Printing speed The speed at which printing occurs. This speed is expressed in units of IPS (inches per second). Reflective sensor See Black mark sensor.
