Embodiment Construction

[0033] The mechanical configuration of the printing apparatus will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 . The label substrate comprises a strip 2 on which an image can be printed by a printing device into which the substrate is inserted. The strap 2 is received on a strap holder 6, the details of which are shown more clearly in Figures 4, 4a and 4b. The tape holder 6 comprises side walls 60 and an inner reel 62 on which a roll of tape 2 is wound. The inner reel 62 can rotate in the belt holder 6 when the belt 2 is unrolled. A spring clip 64 is attached to the flange on the tape holder and presses against the spool 62 . The spring clip 64 prevents excessive expansion of the strap. An annular rib 58 is provided on each side of the tape holder 6, which is accommodated in the first receiving portion 66 of the printing device.

[0034] This first receiving portion 66 is shown in FIG. 4D and has side supports 86, 88 each having an inwardly facing recessed portion 67...

Abstract

A printing apparatus using a consumable associated with an identifier the apparatus comprising, printing means for printing an image onto an image receiving substrate reading means for reading the identifier: storage means for holding a list of any previously used identifiers associated with empty consumables, and a processor arranged to compare the identifier read by the reading means with the list of any previously used identifiers and to generate an invalid indication if there is a match.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to identification of consumables in thermal printers. Background technique [0002] Thermal printers are widely known and generally include a printing device including a thermally activated printhead for printing an image on an image receiving tape. Typically, the image receiving tape has an upper layer for receiving an image and a releasable liner or backing layer adhered to the upper layer by means of an adhesive so that after the image has been printed, the The liner or backing layer can be peeled off and the image receiving tape can be attached in the form of a label. Such thermal printers include a cutter for cutting a length of image receiving tape after the image has been printed. Such thermal printers operate using consumables in the form of image receiving tape or other image receiving substrates such as heat shrink tubing, magnetic, iron-on labels, plastic tape, and the like. [0003] Additionally, the printer...
