A label printing station includes: a base (102); a label supply wheel (104) rotatably mounted to the base (102) for rotation about a first vertical axis (A1) of rotation; a label backing take-up wheel (130) rotatably mounted to the base for rotation about a second vertical axis (A2) of rotation; and a label print-head assembly mounted to the base, the label print-head assembly (100) being configured to print on a label (L) as the label is vertically oriented. The supply wheel, the print-head assembly and the take-up wheel serially define a paper path along which a substantially continuous label backing sheet (S) travels. The backing sheet may be supported from underneath at multiple locations along the paper path. With the printed label being vertically oriented, the label can be attached to an object, such as a vertically oriented pharmaceutical vial (V), which can simplify the labeling process. |
