Abstract
A printing system () includes a printing subsystem () in the form of a printer assembly (). The printing subsystem () includes a printer housing () in which a print engine () resides and a memory () for storing data indicating the position of labels on media. The contents of memory () can be obtained from an end user application () which may supply the position data to the printing subsystem () in a print data stream. Pre-programmed position data is read from a tag () on print media () having multiple tags embedded thereon. The pre-programmed position data is compared to position data received in a print request data stream to determine the position of at least one tag on the print media.
