Problems solved by technology

[0012] The problem with this construction is that in order to load paper labels into the label printer, both the paper cover and the printer cover must be opened at the same time
[0014] Opening and closing the cover to remove a jammed web or label in the transport path of the label peel mechanism is especially difficult when the label peel mechanism is housed in the printer housing

Embodiment Construction

[0045] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a label printer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0046] figure 1 5 is an external oblique view showing a label printer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 is a side view showing the main internal elements of the label peeling mechanism. Figure 7 to Figure 11 is a side sectional view of main parts showing the relationship between the printer cover release lever and the shutter (operation restricting mechanism) when the release lever of the peeling unit (label peeling mechanism) is operated. Figure 12A and Figure 12B is a diagram showing the differences between the web transport paths in the different label dispense modes of this label printer.

Abstract

A label printer having an on-board peeling mechanism enables easily replacing label paper and removing paper jams with limited space for opening and closing the printer. The label printer (1) has a printing mechanism (40) for printing labels (102) while conveying label paper (100) having a plurality of labels (102) affixed to a continuous web liner (101), and a peeling unit (50) for peeling printed labels (102) from the web liner (101) conveyed through a curved transport path by bending the printed label paper (100) acutely from the back side of the web liner (101). The peeling unit (50) is attached to a printer cover (3) which is mounted openably and closably to the label paper compartment (4) in the printer housing (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a label printer having a label peel mechanism for peeling printed labels from a web liner. Background technique [0002] Label printers are used to print information such as product names, prices, and product codes (barcodes) attached to products on labels. [0003] For example, in the warehouse of a warehouse, since labels are to be pasted on products, label printers are generally placed on workbenches to print labels. Label printers are also used to print multiple labels in batches, which are then sent to a separate location, such as a warehouse where products are stored, to be applied to individual products. [0004] In the former application, a label peel mechanism is preferably used to automatically peel labels one by one from the web liner as the labels are printed. In the latter approach, it is even more desirable to use a label peeling mechanism. [0005] Label printers of this type typically store label stoc...
