Abstract: Buildings such as residences and commercial locations may have a data marker such as a barcode and/or RF device. A data marker may store/carry data indicative of an address. This allows verification of a physical address of a location and/or a name of an owner, business(es), residents, and/or employees at that location. A service provider may utilize the data marker during the provision of services. For example, when a package is to be delivered, the data marker may be scanned/interrogated for address verification and then the item may be delivered. This speeds up the tracking and delivery of goods and services. It also reduces or eliminates human error during delivery as every residence and business has an address.

Abstract: A printer capable of operation with linered and/or liner-less media. Powder coated media surfaces, a silicone platen roller and tear-off blade are either designed into the media path or retrofitted into a linered media capable printer. To remove the requirement for realignment between the media path extrusion and the print head a media path extrusion cover designed to snap on to the media path extrusion is utilized.

Abstract: A thermal printer is provided which is adapted for printing information onto multiple types of print media, including both a conventional print media and a linerless print media. The thermal printer comprises a mechanism that transports the print media through a print region of the printer, which comprises a thermal print head and a rotatable platen disposed such that the print media is transported therebetween. A coating is provided on selected portions of the transporting mechanism and the platen. The coating comprises an epoxy resin mixed with a powder to provide a textured surface. The powder of the coating further comprises at least one of titanium dioxide, silica, and calcium sulfate. The coating has a film thickness ranging from approximately 2.5 to 3.5 mils. The textured surface provides sufficient friction and non-stick characteristics to permit the printer to effectively transport both conventional print media and linerless print media.

Abstract: A system integrating a bar code printer and a bar code reader into a single functional unit having a single interface port which serves both the printer and the reader and communicates with a host computer. The interface port can include a parser to receive commands from the host computer and parse the received commands into printer and reader commands. The printer and the reader can communicate directly with each other without requiring the intervention of the host computer. The interface can include a wireless transceiver to permit remote operation of the unit. The unit can also be a stand alone system that does not require the host computer. In the standalone embodiment, an internal controller generates commands to control operation of the printer and receiver. The standalone instrument can also include an interface to communicate with an optional host computer.

Abstract translation: 将条形码打印机和条形码读取器集成到具有单一接口端口的单个功能单元的系统中，该单个接口端口用于打印机和读取器并与主机通信。 接口端口可以包括一个解析器，用于从主机接收命令，并将接收到的命令解析成打印机和读取器命令。 打印机和阅读器可以直接相互通信，而无需主机的干预。 该接口可以包括一个无线收发器以允许该单元的远程操作。 该单元也可以是不需要主机的独立系统。 在独立实施例中，内部控制器产生命令以控制打印机和接收器的操作。 独立仪器还可以包括与可选主机通信的接口。
