A tape having a strip shape extending in a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction includes: a subject surface located on the tape and exposed in a thickness direction; a first marker provided on the subject surface and being greater than the subject surface in reflectivity to light with a particular wavelength; and a second marker provided on the subject surface and being less than the subject surface in the reflectivity. At least a portion of the first marker and at least a portion of the second marker are identical to each other in position in the widthwise direction. At least a portion of one of the first marker and the second marker and at least a portion of another of the first marker and the second marker are different from each other in position in the lengthwise direction.

In example implementations, an augmented reality (AR) labeler is provided. The AR labeler includes a camera, a processor, a graphical user interface (GUI), and a display. The camera is to capture an image of an object. The processor is communicatively coupled to the camera to receive the image and determine object information. The GUI is communicatively coupled to the processor to receive print parameters. The display is communicatively coupled to the processor to display an AR image of the object with the print parameters, wherein the print parameters are modified in the AR image based on the object information.

According to one embodiment, a label printer for printing labels attached to a mount is provided. The label printer includes detection unit configured to detect a peel-off state of a label to be printed and a printing unit configured to control printing of labels on the mount according to the detected peel-off state of the label to be printed. When the detected peel-off state is total peel-off, the printing unit is configured to advance the mount to a next label on the mount, and when the detected peel-off state is partial peel-off, the printing unit is configured to not print on the label.

According to one embodiment, a label peeling device includes a tray, a pressing unit, and a control unit. The tray is configured to support a label sheet thereon. The pressing unit is configured to be driven in a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the label sheet. The control unit is configured to drive the pressing unit toward a central portion of the label sheet supported on the tray. The control unit performs peeling control to peel a liner sheet and a label body of the label sheet from each other by pressing an edge of the label sheet and thereby curving the label sheet.

A labeling device includes a printer configured to print labels each having a barcode on a print side of the label opposite an adhesive side of the label. The printer is also configured to direct each printed label in a direction of travel. The device includes a label applicator located downstream of the printer with respect to the direction of travel. The device also includes a barcode scanner that is located downstream of the printer with respect to the direction of travel and is configured to scan the barcode of each label before the label applicator presses the label against the package.

According to one embodiment, a label peeling device includes a tray, a pressing unit, and a control unit. The tray is configured to support a label sheet thereon. The pressing unit is configured to be driven in a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the label sheet. The control unit is configured to drive the pressing unit toward a central portion of the label sheet supported on the tray. The control unit performs peeling control to peel a liner sheet and a label body of the label sheet from each other by pressing an edge of the label sheet and thereby curving the label sheet.

A labeling apparatus includes: a housing; a printing portion provided in the housing and configured to print on a plurality of labels of a label sheet being provided with an adhesive layer; a peeling portion provided in the housing and configured to peel the label printed by the printing portion from the elongated mount; a discharge portion provided in the housing and having a discharge port for discharging the label peeled by the peeling portion, the discharge port being arranged at an end portion that is away from the housing; and a gripping portion provided on a side of the housing different from the discharge portion and configured to allow a user to grip with one hand, wherein the discharge portion includes a holder configured to hold the label peeled by the peeling portion before the label is discharged from the discharge port.

According to one embodiment, a label peeling device includes a tray, a pressing unit, and a control unit. The tray is configured to support a label sheet thereon. The pressing unit is configured to be driven in a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the label sheet. The control unit is configured to drive the pressing unit toward a central portion of the label sheet supported on the tray. The control unit performs peeling control to peel a liner sheet and a label body of the label sheet from each other by pressing an edge of the label sheet and thereby curving the label sheet.

A label printer includes an under cover, a top cover, a label peel-off unit, an interfering member supporting member, an interfering member, and an interfered member. The top cover moves between a first position where the top cover is opened and a second position where the top cover is closed with respect to the under cover. The label peel-off unit moves between a third position where the label peel-off unit is opened and a fourth position where the label peel-off unit is closed with respect to the under cover. The interfering member abuts against an exterior member of the label peel-off unit. The interfered member is a part of the exterior member of the label peel-off unit, and protrudes toward an upstream side in the label conveyance direction and is at a position where the interfered member abuts against the interfering member.

A tape having a strip shape extending in a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction includes: a subject surface located on the tape and exposed in a thickness direction; a first marker provided on the subject surface and being greater than the subject surface in reflectivity to light with a particular wavelength; and a second marker provided on the subject surface and being less than the subject surface in the reflectivity. At least a portion of the first marker and at least a portion of the second marker are identical to each other in position in the widthwise direction. At least a portion of one of the first marker and the second marker and at least a portion of another of the first marker and the second marker are different from each other in position in the lengthwise direction.
