Label cassette and system for mounting same

摘要

A label cassette is described in which labels releasably adhered to a support strip are stored in a cassette. The cassette is generally rectangular with one corner formed at approximately a 45 DEG angle. A reflective surface is placed on the angular corner to permit a light beam to be reflected from the cassette through holes in the support strip between each label to control the advance of the support strip into the label printer. With this arrangement the proper positioning of the label cassette as well as that of the support strip are simultaneously detected.
