Sample of questions asked

 

Q9. - I bought some clear thermal transfer labels but when I try to print, the print misaligns as the labels are printed ( it moves up the label). Do you know what is causing this, I have tried changing all of the sensor settings and have to set at continuous to get any print, all other settings indicate there is no paper or paper jam.

A9. - The media sensors require either a "Black Line" (Reflective sensor) or a change in "Light Transmission" (Transmissive sensor) between the backing paper and label. The sensor cannot tell where the edge of your labels are as they are clear and light passes through, there is no change in transmission or reflection. You require a black mark printed in between each label and set the sensor to "Black Mark". Your label supplier should have known this, if you explained that you were using a thermal transfer printer.

Q11. - We want to ensure that the barcodes we print are able to be read by our customers scanners.

A11. - There are 2 ways of doing this.
1/ Use a normal barcode scanner to check the barcode as it is printed, this checks that the barcode is readable by your scanner and probably your customers. CAUTION! It does not tell you that the barcode print is within specification and likely to be read by all scanners operating within specification.
2/ To check if the barcode is printed to specification you would need a "Bar Code Verifier". If your barcode passed verification you can be sure that it will be read by your customers scanners. If it is not read by their scanner, then you can be sure that it is their scanner that is at fault, not your printed barcode.

. . There are a variety of different types of bar codes. However, the U.P.C.symbol is the most recognized bar code in the United States,since it appears on almost every retail product. The U.P.C. symbolises the bar code representation of the UCC-12. (Universal ProductNumber) which consists of twelve numeric characters that uniquely identify a company's individual product. Although, the initial U.P.C. usage was focused on retail point of sale (POS), many other industries have adopted this coding structure. In the EU the most common barcodes are the EAN range.

 

FOOD LABELS Explained - Food labels carry useful information to help you make choices about food. The food label will tell you if the food contains an additive that you may want to avoid. The nutrition information panel allows you to compare similar products and choose the one that suits your needs.

The 'use by' or 'best before' date means that food stored in the recommended way will remain of good quality until that date. However, these terms are not interchangeable. For example, it may be safe to eat foods after their 'best before' date, but they may have lost quality and some nutritional value.
