A printing apparatus includes a platen roller conveying a printing medium in a first direction, a peeler peeling off a label from a mount, a support member supporting a driven roller that conveys the mount in a second direction with the platen roller, and a rib portion provided on the support member and guiding the label peeled off from the mount in the first direction. The rib portion includes a first rib, a second rib and a third rib, continuously in the first direction. The first rib is inclined away from a virtual line in the first direction toward an upstream side from the second rib. The third rib is inclined away from the virtual line in the first direction toward a downstream side from the second rib.

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.

In accordance with one embodiment, a printing apparatus comprises a conveyance path, a detection section and a control section. The conveyance path conveys a mount to which labels are attached. The detection section detects the existence of the label peeled off by a peeling bar which peels off the label attached to the mount. The control section controls start time of back feed of the mount in a case in which it is detected that the label is taken away.

A sticker machine, for peeling a sticker from a liner paper during a conveying process of the sticker. The sticker machine includes a turning peeling portion, configured to cause the sticker to be peeled from the liner paper by conveying the liner paper in a direction different from a travel direction of the sticker; and a sticker guiding portion, configured to guide the sticker to be conveyed in a prescribed direction to the turning peeling portion, for causing the sticker after being peeled to enter an output port. In a conveying direction of the sticker, the sticker guiding portion is disposed at a position further upstream than the turning peeling portion.

A labeling device may include a platform configured to advance objects, a sensing device directed toward the objects as the objects are advanced, and a label supply. The labeling device may include a robot configured to pick-up labels from the label supply and apply the labels to the objects as the objects are advanced, and a controller configured to operate the robot based upon the vision device.

In some embodiments, a handheld label application device includes a housing assembly, a print head mounted inside the housing assembly and configured to print on a label, and a sensor positioned inside the housing assembly, wherein the sensor is configured to detect at least one optical attribute of a label before it is printed on by the printer.

An item packaging machine is configured to fulfill a plurality of orders that each include one or more items. The item packaging machine includes an introduction assembly configured to index each item in a retaining notch that is advanced by a conveyor over a base. The conveyor advances each item to a label applicator assembly, where each item is verified by one or more cameras directed to at least one side of each item and a label is applied to each item. The conveyor advances each labeled item to a packaging assembly, where each item is verified and advanced into a package that includes order identification information applied thereon and that is configured to package the order that includes the item.
