Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bar code printing, in particular to a label positioning device for a bar code printer. Background Technique

[0002] A bar code label printer is a printer specifically used for printing bar codes, two-dimensional codes and other labels. It usually adopts thermal transfer or thermal printing technology.
