elements contained in one inch of the printhead. Also referred to as “resolution”.
DPL (Datamax-O’Neil Programming Language) programming commands used
specifically for control of and label production in Datamax-O’Neil printers. A complete
listing of commands can be found in the Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual.
EFIGS English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and other multi-language support as
programmed for the menu and configuration label.
fanfold Media that is folded and stacked.
feed speed The speed at which the media moves under the printhead in non-printed areas
and between labels.
Flash memory Non-volatile memory (does not require printer power to maintain data) that
can be erased and reprogrammed, used to hold the operating program.
font A set of alphanumeric characters that share a particular typeface.
gap A space between die-cut or notched labels used to sense the top-of-form.
IPS (inches per second) Imperial measurement of printer speeds.
label A paper or synthetic printing material, typically with adhesive backing.
label length The distance from the top of the label to the bottom of the label as it exits the
printer.
label repeat The distance from the top of one label to the top of the next label.
label tracking Excessive lateral (side to side) movement of the media as it travels under
the printhead.
label width The left to right measurement of the label as it exits the printer.
mark Generalized term for the carbon-based black line on the underside of reflective media
used to indicate the top-of-form.
media Generalized term for all types of printing stocks, including: roll fed, continuous, die-
cut, reflective, and fanfold.
media hub Device in the printer used to support roll media.
media sensor An electronic device equipped with photosensors to detect media and the
top-of-form on die-cut, notched or reflective media.
MMPS (millimeters per second) Metric measurement of printer speeds.
notched stock Media, typically tag stock, with holes or notches in the material that is used
to signal the top-of-form. The printer must be set to “gap” to use this media type.
