As well as document/photo printers, a common kind of network printer is the label printer.  Rather than paper, these use label media to produce marked adhesive labels.  In general, label printers use the thermal method of printing, which makes the product inexpensive and keeps the printer cleaner.  However, these labels are susceptible to heat, so some variations are also sometimes used.<br />

These labels are most commonly used in warehouses and other support facilities.  These usually depict predominantly a barcode, so the item they are attached to may be easily scanned.  Other relevant information is usually included as well, and the labels sometimes also are created with an embedded [[Radio frequency identification|RFID]] chip.
