A thermal label printer system may include a book-shaped housing comprising a front cover and a rear cover with the front cover attached to a rear cover along an interface and configured to rotate about the interface with respect to the rear cover between an open position and a closed position. The thermal label printer system may also include a thermal printer having a printer casing secured within the book-shaped housing, as well as an input device, a thermal print head, and a controller. The controller configured to determine an output based at least in part on an input signal received from the input device. The output is configured to cause the thermal print head to print a label having at least a name of a food item and a determined expiration date for the food item.

An auxiliary tape cassette includes: an auxiliary tape; a gear; and a case. The auxiliary tape is used for printing on a printing tape. The gear transmits a driving force from an outside. The case accommodates therein at least a part of the auxiliary tape and at least a part of the gear. The case has: a discharge opening; and a guide part. The discharge opening discharges the printing tape to an outside. The guide part guides the printing tape supplied from an outside of the case toward the discharge opening.

An auxiliary tape cassette includes a roll configured of a wound auxiliary tape and a case housing the roll. The auxiliary tape is for printing on a printing tape. The case has a discharge port for discharging the printing tape and a guide surface for guiding the printing tape toward the discharge port. The guide surface is defined on an inner surface or an outer surface of the case. The printing tape is wrapped around the guide surface to form a spiral portion whose angle of rotation about a central axis of the spiral portion is greater than or equal to 180 degrees. The central axis is parallel to a winding axis of the roll. The guide surface includes a curved surface for guiding at least a portion of the spiral portion on an upstream side of the discharge port in a discharging direction of the printing tape.

Disclosed is a tape supplying body including: a tape roll on which a tape to be fed to a tape printing apparatus is wound; a first member provided on a bottom surface of the tape roll; and a second member, wherein the second member has a running-onto prevention part that is provided at an upper surface of the tape roll and prevents the tape from running onto the tape roll, a tape receiving part that is provided at a bottom surface of the first member and receives the tape dropping from the first member, and a connection part that is provided on a radially outer side of the tape roll and connects the running-onto prevention part and the tape receiving part to each other.

The present invention relates to the field of packaging liquids or semi-liquids in containers, and in particular, to a machine provided with a system for printing information directly on a container or label applied to said container.

In particular, the invention relates to a machine (1) for printing information on a container or blank label applied to said container, comprising: at least one rotary information printing station (2, 2′); a system (3) for feeding containers to said at least one rotary information printing station (2, 2′); a system (4) for picking the printed containers from said at least one rotary information printing station (2, 2′).

The present disclosure provides a system and method for generating RFID labels using automated RFID encoding, and verification of RFID labels post generation. In some aspect, generating RFID labels may be done using a label printer and an easy-to-attach RFID encoder. The RFID encoder may include an RFID controller coupled to a network, one or more antennas, a barcode scanner, and one or more optical detectors. As printed RFID labels pass through the label printer, the RFID encoder receives serialization data on the printed labels, which is translated into encode data by the RFID encoder and mask encoded into the RFID labels.

An information processing apparatus performs: receiving a print instruction for repeatedly printing an object along a particular direction, the print instruction including an image length; determining whether the image length exceeds a particular length; in a case where the image length exceeds the particular length, creating print image data of a first image and a second image, the first and second images including the object arranged repeatedly, a length of the first image being within the particular length, the second image continuing from the first image, a total length of the first and second images being equal to the image length; in a case where the image length does not exceed the particular length, creating print image data of a third image in which the object is arranged repeatedly, a length of the third image being equal to the image length; and outputting the print image data to a printer.

A control method of a tape printing apparatus the method including performing a blade closing operation using a half cutter in a state in which rotation of a platen roller is stopped and subsequently performing a blade opening operation, causing a discharge feeding section to operate in a period from after the half cutter starts the blade opening operation and until the platen roller starts rotating, and determining presence or absence of a tape in a discharge feeding section based on a detection signal output from a discharge sensor during an operation of the discharge feeding section.

A cable marker strip includes two rows of cable markers which are arranged behind one another in a cable direction. The cable marker strip includes a labeling track which has one labeling surface for each cable marker, wherein one fastening structure is provided for each cable marker on a fastening surface of the labeling track. The fastening surface lies opposite the labeling surface and has a connecting track and two holding limbs which are connected to the connecting track, which lie opposite one another, and together define a cable receptacle. Starting from the connecting track, spacing the holding limbs from one another decreases in the region of the cable receptacle so that the cable receptacle tapers. A printer for printing the cable marker strip and a method for printing the cable marker strip by way of the printer are also provided. The printer includes a print head which is arranged above pressure bars for the rows of cable markers.

A printer apparatus includes a wearable housing and a paper medium disposed therein, the paper medium including an adhesive label and a backing strip to which the adhesive label is affixed. The adhesive label includes first, second, and third portions affixed to the backing strip, wherein each of the first, second, and third portions is permitted to be peeled off from the backing strip while the others of the first, second, and third portions remain affixed to the backing strip.
