gap/notch media Media that contains a separation, notch, or hole, indicating where one label/printed
format ends and the next one begins.
Contrast this with black mark media or continuous media.
ips (inches-per-second) The speed at which the label or tag is printed. Many Zebra printers can print
from 1 ips to 14 ips.
label An adhesive-backed piece of paper, plastic, or other material on which information is printed. A non-
continuous label has a defined length, as opposed to a continuous label or a receipt, which can have a
varying length.
label backing (liner) The material on which labels are affixed during manufacture and which is
discarded or recycled by the end-users.
label type The printer recognizes the following label types.
light emitting diode (LED) Indicators of specific printer status conditions. Each LED is either off, on, or
blinking depending on the feature being monitored.
linerless media Linerless media does not use backing to keep the layers of labels on a roll from sticking
to one another. It is wound like a roll of tape, with the sticky side of one layer in contact with the non-sticky
surface of the one below it. Individual labels may be separated by perforations, or they can be cut apart.
Because there is no liner, more labels can potentially fit on a roll, cutting down the need to change media
as often. Linerless media is considered an environmentally friendly option because no backing is wasted,
and the cost per label can be considerably less than that of standard labels.
liquid crystal display (LCD) The LCD is a back-lit display that provides the user with either operating
status during normal operation or option menus when configuring the printer to a specific application.
