Bar Code Label Printers

Bar code label printers are generally the most common dot matrix, laser, and ink jet and thermal printers. Dot matrix printers are one of the oldest printers used for printing bar codes. In these printers, the lines are built dot-by-dot as a solenoid-driven needle strikes an ink ribbon, transferring the ink to the paper. These printers are inexpensive, can print any form and are easily accessible. However, the quality dot matrix printer is unacceptable today. Ink jet printers are one of the most commonly used printers, especially for high-speed applications. They can also be used to print directly onto a carton where a label has already been affixed.

However, they are suitable for only high-speed printing and may not be very cost-effective for small-scale bar code printing operations. Ink jet clogging, limited barcode resolution, “bleeding” ink, and poor contrasts are some of the disadvantages. Laser printers are quite good as … Read the rest

PCMCIA Sound Cards

All laptops have the PCMIA card slots on them. Originally, PCMIA only produced PC cards to add extra memory to the computer. But with the advent of multimedia technology, they have been producing other types of PC cards for different purposes. One of these is the PCMIA sound card.

Keeping Electronics Clean

It is always advisable to read through the user manual before you start cleaning your electronic devices. In case of any doubts, always take the recommendations of an electrician or the manufacturer. Electronic gadgets such as microwaves, water purifiers, cameras and refrigerators should be opened only by trained technicians. In case of mobile phones, clocks with electronic displays, personalized organizers, etc, they could cancel or void the warranty, if tampered with.

Publishing And Digital And Electronic

  • “Electronic Right[s]” And “Digital Right[s]” Are Not Self-Defining.

All publishing lawyers, entertainment attorneys, authors, and others must be very careful about the use of jargon – publishing industry jargon, or otherwise. Electronic and digital publishing is a recent phenomenon. Although as a publishing lawyer and entertainment attorney and unlike some others, I tend to use the phrase “electronic right” or even “digital right” in the singular number, there probably tends to be no single consensus as to what constitutes and collectively comprises the singular “electronic right” or “digital right”. There has not been sufficient time for the publishing, media, or entertainment industries to fully crystallize accurate and complete definitions of phrases like “electronic publishing”, “web publishing”, “electronic right[s]”, “e-rights”, “digital rights”, or “first electronic rights”.

These phrases are therefore usually just assumed or, worse yet, just plain fudged. Anyone who suggests that these phrases alone are already self-defining, would be … Read the rest
