The present disclosure relates to a residual film winder for a packaging machine, wherein the residual film winder comprises a reception mandrel, a reception sleeve, and at least one film spreader. The reception sleeve is configured to be arranged onto the reception mandrel. The film spreader has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end extends out of the reception sleeve, and the first end has an outer contour extending along its long axis. The outer contour of the film spreader has at least two sections, a first section and a second section, wherein the first and second sections are not parallel to each other.

An embodiment of the present invention is a printer in which peeling issuing and continuous issuing can be switched. Peeling issuing allows a label to be issued after being peeled from a liner of a print medium with the label releasably attached on the liner. Continuous issuing allows the label to be issued without being peeled from the liner. The printer includes a feed roller configured to feed the print medium and also includes a peeling unit including a peeling roller holder and a peeling roller cover. The peeling roller holder holds a peeling roller that faces the feed roller in peeling issuing. The peeling roller cover axially supports the peeling roller holder in a swingable manner and is movable between a closed position and an open position. When the peeling roller cover is at the open position, the peeling roller holder is swingable between a first position for facing a back surface of the peeling roller cover and a second position at which the peeling roller is not covered with the peeling roller cover. The peeling unit further includes a biasing member that biases the peeling roller holder from the first position to the second position.
