File 2008TaipeiPack Linx Barcode Printer.jpg thumb 250px A barcode printer A barcode printer or bar code printer is a computer peripheral for printing barcode labels or tags that can be attached to physical objects. Barcode printers are commonly used to label cartons before shipment, or to label retail items with Universal Product Code UPC s or European Article Number EAN s. The most common barcode printers employ one of two different printing technologies. Thermal printer Direct thermal printer s use a printhead to generate heat that causes a chemical reaction in specially designed paper that turns the paper black. Thermal transfer printer s also use heat, but instead of reacting the paper, the heat melts a wax y or resin substance on a ribbon that runs over the label or tag material. The heat transfers ink from the ribbon to the paper. Direct thermal printers are generally less expensive, but they produce labels that can become illegible if exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or chemical vapors. Barcode printers are designed for different markets. Industrial barcode printers are used in large warehouses and manufacturing facilities. They have large paper capacities, operate faster and have a longer service life . For retail and office environments, desktop barcode printers are most common.

About the profession the Twilight Zone episode Printer s Devil Image Buchdrucker 1568.png thumb Printing press, circa 1568 A printer s devil was an apprentice in a printing establishment who performed a number of tasks, such as mixing tubs of ink and fetching type.

Derivation The origin of printer s devil is not definitively known. Various competing theories of the phrase s origin follow. Printer s devil has been ascribed to the fact that printer s apprentices would inevitably have parts of their skin stained black by the ink used in printing. As black was associated with the black arts, the apprentice came to be called a devil. Another origin is linked to the fanciful belief among printers that a special devil see Titivillus haunted every print ... type.

They were introduced in the late 1960s. Such devices were sometimes incorrectly referred to as thermal printer s which is in fact a different technology. Spark printing was a simple and inexpensive technology. The print quality was relatively poor, but at a time when conventional printers cost hundreds of pounds, spark printers sub 100 price was a major selling point. The other major downside is that they can only print onto special metallised paper such paper is no longer readily available.

LED technology uses a light emitting diode array as a light source in the printhead. The LED bar pulse flashes across the entire page width and creates the image on the print drum or belt as it moves past. LED s are more efficient and reliable than conventional laser printers, since they have fewer moving parts . Depending on design, LED printers can have faster rates of print than some laser based designs, and are generally cheaper to manufacture. Laser systems rely on elaborate combinations of rotating mirrors and lenses that must remain in alignment throughout their use.

A virtual printer is a piece of computer Computer software software whose user interface and Application programming interface API resemble that of a printer driver , but which is not connected with a physical computer printer . When a user requests that a document be printed by a virtual printer, then, instead of having the document printed on paper or other material, the underlying software would process its contents in some other way, often resulting in a Computer file file being produced or the information being transmitted.

A refinement of the Iris printer , the Veris also uses a continuous flow ink system to produce continuous tone output on specially designed media. Unlike most inkjet printers which fire drops only when needed, the Veris uses eight 1 micrometer glass jets that operate continuously under high pressure, vibrated by a piezoelectric crystal to produce drops at a 1 MHz rate, or 8 million drops per second in total. Drops that are not needed to form the image are deflected electrostatically into a waste collection system, and individual drops can be directed to a specific position on the media. The Veris prints with the same quality of the Iris, only faster because of the larger number of jets or pens as they are called . History The Veris printer was originally developed by Iris Graphics, which was acquired by Scitex and later merged with Creo Creo Products Inc. . In 2005 Creo was purchased by Kodak. The Veris was first released in 2004 and production of the Veris ended in 2008, although the product is still supported and in use as of 2010.

An IRIS printer is a large format color inkjet printer introduced in 1987 by IRIS Graphics of Bedford, Massachusetts and currently manufactured by the Graphic Communications Group of Eastman Kodak , designed for prepress proofing . It is also used in the fine art reproduction market as a final output digital printing press. Description The IRIS printer is an inkjet printer designed to interface with digital prepress systems to produce a hard copy that shows what the exact image will look like before the job goes to press. Such prepress output devices are used to check the image and for critical color match on industrial printing jobs such as commercial product packaging and magazine layout. Their output is also used to check color after mass production begins. IRIS printers use a continuous flow ink system to produce continuous tone dot free output.
