Production label printers use thermal technology to print high-resolution product information and bar codes on different varieties of labels. Some printers use direct thermal method to print information 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.
Mostly courier companies, warehousing, and manufacturing companies use production label printers for printing product information labels. 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 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 information 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 keyboards, self-strip (peel off) units, internal rewinders, and external Ethernet adapters.
The device is used in conjunction with different software, such as driver software for Windows (98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP), label design-and-print packages, and configuration tools for installing 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 production companies to print product information in regional languages along with English for shipping consignment to different parts of the world.
