An information processing device is communicably connected to a tape printing device that performs printing on a tape. The information processing device includes an acquiring section that acquires a remaining tape length that is a length of an unprinted portion of the tape; an accepting section that accepts an operation of editing print data; a unit label length calculating section that calculates a unit label length that is a length per label to be created by printing, on the tape, the print data being edited; a printable sheet number calculating section that calculates, based on the remaining tape length and the unit label length, the number of printable sheets that indicates how many labels with the unit label length can be created using the tape with the remaining tape length; and a sheet number notifying section that notifies a user of the calculated number of printable sheets.

Disclosed is a tape supplying device that supplies a printing tape fed out from a tape roll having the printing tape wound therein to a tape printing device, the tape supplying device including: a roll supporting part that supports the tape roll in a posture in which a rotation axis of the tape roll crosses a mounting surface on which the tape printing device and the tape supplying device are mounted, wherein the tape supplying device supplies the printing tape to the tape printing device in a state in which the tape supplying device is not installed on the tape printing device.

A tape cartridge includes a printing tape, an ink ribbon, a platen roller, a cartridge casing, an insertion opening, and a facing portion. The platen roller receives power from a tape feeding mechanism portion and faces a printing head portion so that the printing tape and the ink ribbon are provided between a platen roller and a printing head at a printing position. The cartridge casing accommodates the printing tape, the ink ribbon, and the platen roller. The insertion opening is provided on the cartridge casing and in which a head cover is inserted when the tape cartridge is installed on the cartridge installation portion. The facing portion is provided on an opening peripheral wall portion of the insertion opening and receives a convex portion to restrict a displacement of the tape cartridge in the cartridge installation portion.

An ink ribbon support cassette includes a plate, a shaft extending from the plate, a rotational body provided to be movable along the shaft between a first position and a second position that is farther separated from the plate than is the first position, and a support member switchable between a support state where at least a part of the support member is located outward, in a radial direction of the shaft, than an outer surface of the rotational body in a case where the rotational body is at the first position, and a separation state where the at least a part is located inward in the radial direction with respect than the outer surface of the rotational body in a state where the rotational body is at the second position, the support member being provided on the rotational body.

An apparatus for holding label stock includes a body including a base and a roll holding area with a roll holding support extending from the base for receiving a roll of label stock. A plurality of rollers are located along a label stock feed path from the roll holding area to a label stock exit zone of the body. The plurality of rollers include a tensioning roller that is movable relative to the base to dissipate tension loads on label stock during label stock movement.

A printable structure is configured to create a temporary bind as one half of a hook and loop connection with another half of the hook and loop connection. The printable structure includes a substrate, an adhesive layer, and a print-receptive topcoat. The substrate has two opposing surfaces including a fastening surface that is one of a hook fastening surface and a loop fastening surface of the hook and loop connection and including a textured surface that is textured with surface relief in a direction parallel to a direction of thickness of the printable structure. The adhesive layer is coupled to the textured surface of the substrate. The print-receptive topcoat is coupled to the adhesive layer on a side opposite the substrate. The adhesive layer fills in the surface relief such that there are no un-filled gaps beneath the print-receptive topcoat to level the print-receptive topcoat.

The tape cassette includes a housing, a tape roll, a tape, an outlet, a first guide, first opening, second opening, a first rotation body, and a second rotation body. The first guide is configured to guide the tape that has been conveyed through a detection position toward the outlet. The first opening opens toward a first surface of the tape. The second opening opens toward a second surface of the tape. The first rotation body is disposed at a position adjacent to the first opening. The position adjacent to the first opening is an entrance to the detection position. The second rotation body is disposed further upstream than the first guide in a tape conveyance direction. The second rotation body is disposed at a position adjacent to the second opening. The position adjacent to the second opening is an exit from the detection position.

The tape cassette includes a housing, a tape spool, a tape, a first guide, a second guide, and a plurality of pins. The housing has an outlet. The tape spool is held inside the housing. The tape is wound around the tape spool. The first guide is configured to guide the tape toward a detection position where tape information of the tape is detected by a sensor of a printer. The second guide is configured to guide the tape that has been conveyed through the detection position toward the outlet. The plurality of pins is disposed at positions away from a straight line connecting the tape spool with the first guide. The pins are configured to cause a conveyance path of the tape from the tape spool to the first guide to be curved, and guide the tape to the first guide along the conveyance path.

An image processing apparatus includes an apparatus body, a feeding cassette, a pin member, a lever, an elastic member, and a guide mechanism. The feeding cassette is insertable into and ejectable from the apparatus body in one direction and includes an insertion position for insertion into the apparatus body and an ejection position for ejection from the apparatus body. The pin member is connected to the feeding cassette. The lever is rotatable around an axis in a first direction, and includes a pin engagement portion engaging with the pin member at a tip end in the axial direction. The elastic member includes a tip end connected between the rotation axis of the lever and the pin engagement portion of the lever, and adds a force for rotation in an insertion direction. The guide mechanism shortens a distance between the pin member and the rotation axis of the lever.
