ips (inches-per-second) The speed at which the label or tag is printed. Zebra printers can
print from 1 ips to 12 ips.
Kerberos Network authentication protocol that uses the concept of a time-limited “ticket”
for access to network resources. Kerberos uses key distribution and client/server
authentication.
light emitting diode (LED) Indicators of specific printer status conditions. Each LED is
either off, on, or blinking depending on the feature being monitored.
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol
(LEAP or Lightweight EAP) A non-standard Wireless Security protocol from Cisco.
LEAP uses mutual authentication, meaning that both the user and the access point must be
authenticated before access to the LAN is allowed. Mutual authentication can help protect
wireless networks from rogue access points, man-in-the-middle attacks, sniffing attacks, and
active attacks. Based on 802.1X EAP protocol.
liquid crystal display (LCD) The LCD is a back-lit display that provides the user with
either operating status during normal operation or option menus when configuring the printer
to a specific application.
media Material onto which data is printed by the printer. Types of media include: tag stock,
die-cut labels, continuous labels (with and without media liner), non-continuous media,
fanfold media, and roll media.
media sensor This sensor is located behind the printhead to detect the presence of media
and, for non-continuous media, the position of the web, hole, or notch used to indicate the start
of each label.
non-continuous media Media that contains an indication of where one label/printed
format ends and the next one begins. Examples are die-cut labels, notched tag-stock, and stock
with black mark registration marks.
non-volatile memory Electronic memory that retains data even when the power to the
printer is turned off.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) A draft standard for a
common approach to wireless-network user authentication.
• A form of 802.1X authentication
• Currently an IETF draft (still subject to change)
• Performs mutual client/server authentication using transport layer security (TLS), but only
requires a server certificate
• With no client certificate, configuration is easier than EAP-TLS
peel-off A mode of operation in which the printer peels a printed label away from the
backing and allows the user to remove it before another label is printed. Printing pauses until
the label is removed.
print speed The speed at which printing occurs. For thermal transfer printers, this speed is
expressed in terms of ips (inches per second).
