?:definition
  • Printers designed to produce monochromatic and, less frequently, color text and/or graphics on paper or plastic (frequently self-adhesive) labels and/or cards; label printers may work as a computer-controlled peripheral. These printers typically include a thermal head that may transfer ink from a ribbon to the label (thermal transfer printer) for a permanent print or perform temporary (up to a year) printing on heat-sensitive paper (direct thermal printer); label printers usually include special feeding mechanisms to manipulate multiple labels provided either in tear sheets or in rolls. Label printers are used in healthcare facilities to mark laboratory samples, for patient and/or equipment identification, and for other purposes; dedicated label printers intended to print bar-code labels are also available.
