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 print-

head from wear.

roll media Media that comes supplied rolled onto a core (usually

cardboard). Contrast with fanfold media.

scalable or vector graphics Also known as object-oriented graphics,

this method maintains an image as a series of points, lines, arcs

and geometric shapes. This type of graphic is used for CAD and

technical illustrations and other types of illustrations where the

components of the drawing must be separable and individually

scalable. On a Zebra printer, this type of graphic must be con-

verted to a raster or bitmap image in order to be reproduced. Con-

trast with bitmap image or raster graphics.

scalable Capable of being changed in size and configuration.

scalable font A font that is created in the required point size as

needed to print. The font is described by a mathematical represen-

tation of the typeface and is capable of being changed in size or

configuration without loss of font/image quality. Scalable fonts

eliminate storing many different sizes of bitmap fonts in memory

since one mathematical representation of the font can be scaled to

create many different sizes of the font. Contrast with bitmap font.

serialized data Data fields by a selected increment or decrement

value (i.e., make the data fields increase or decrease by a speci-

fied value) each time a label is printed.

supplies A general term for media and ribbon.

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 print-

head 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.
