Address label printers use thermal technology to print high-resolution addresses on different varieties of address labels. Some printers use direct thermal method to print addresses on heat sensitive paper whereas others use thermal transfer method in which heat is used to transfer ink from ribbons onto labels for getting permanent prints.
Address label printers are used mostly by courier companies, warehousing, and retail industry for printing mail and destination addresses. They are designed to deliver consistent performance over longer periods at affordable rates. Many of them have sturdy metal chassis, covers, and advanced print mechanics to ensure long lasting performance in industrially demanding conditions.
They are capable of housing different types of address label rolls and ink ribbon cartridges. They are equipped with a movable label sensor to detect gaps, black marks, and perforations present in label rolls. Information generated by the sensor is used to print addresses in the right spot and avoid overlapping. They are equipped with ample amount of flash memory and RAM (random access memory) for processing labels, storing formats, and supporting different fonts. They can be connected to a computer via USB, serial, or parallel interface ports. The device can be connected to a number of accessories such as label cutters, external keyboard, self-strip (peel off) units, internal rewinders, and external ethernet adapter.
The device is used in conjunction with different software such as driver software for Windows (98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP), LabelShop START label design and print package, and configuration tool for installation of additional fonts, images, and firmware upgrades.
Font software used in these devices can support different character sets representing regional languages used in different parts of the world. This feature is used by courier companies to print addresses in regional languages alongside normal addresses for shipping consignment to different parts of the world.
