摘要： A thermal printer, when operating under battery power, has an internal or battery ground. Static electricity is typically generated during normal operation of the printer. At least one static electricity discharge member is positioned in contact with a major surface of printing substrate at a location downstream from the location at which a thermal print head transfers ink from an ink transfer ribbon to the substrate. The at least one static electricity discharge member is electrically coupled to the internal ground so as to discharge static electricity build up that can otherwise damage electronic components of the printer.

摘要： An entire block of print data for a message is subdivided into sub-blocks of print data. During printing of sub-blocks, an earlier received sub-block of data is used to print one portion of a substrate moving in the downstream direction. The substrate is moved upstream for a back distance and then moved downstream with the next sub-block of data being printed on the substrate as it is moved downstream. As a back distance section of the substrate again travels in the downstream direction, data from the subsequent sub-block of data that corresponds to data printed on the back distance section of the substrate during printing of the immediately preceding sub-block of data, is printed on the back distance section of the substrate. The sub-blocks of data are in effect stitched together by the dual printed back distance to minimize transition artifacts.

摘要： Printing systems including a printing mechanism for printing adjacent print passes and a computing system are shown and described. Memory of the computing system includes computer-readable instructions for: receiving calibration data; receiving graphical data having first and second sets of perimeter graphical data; generating a first set of longitudinal boundary graphical data based on the first set of perimeter graphical data and the calibration data; generating a second set of longitudinal boundary graphical data based on the second set of perimeter graphical data and the calibration data; printing a first print pass having a first perimeter print area and a first longitudinal boundary area; printing a second print pass having a second perimeter print and a second longitudinal boundary area; and blending the first and the second longitudinal boundary areas to generate an at least partially overlapping longitudinal boundary area.

摘要： In one embodiment, a safety label management system includes a mobile device comprising a camera, a label database, a safety label printer configured to print safety labels, and a computing unit in electronic communication with the mobile device, the label database, and the safety label printer. The mobile device may be configured to capture, via the camera, an image of an existing safety label. The label database may store a plurality of database entries, each entry including a unique label ID number, a set of label characteristics, and a printable label file. The computing unit may be configured to: process the image to identity label characteristics of the existing safety label; compare the label characteristics of the existing safety label to the label characteristics of the label database entries; and prompt a user to perform an action.

摘要： Continuous feed media including an attached laminating layer for printing labels and laminating them. The continuous feed media includes a substrate, an adhesive, and a lining. The substrate has a first face and a second face opposite the substrate from the first face. The first face is divided into a printing portion and a protecting portion laterally adjacent to the printing portion. The adhesive is disposed on the protecting portion and the lining is disposed on the adhesive. The adhesive is configured to selectively release the lining. The protecting portion is configured to adhere to and protect the printing portion when the lining is removed and the protecting portion is positioned to overlie the printing portion.
