Tape printer

摘要

Disclosed is a tape printer including a feed portion, a feed path, a print portion, and a cut portion. The feed portion performs pre-print feed to feed a tape before a print process and post-print feed to feed the tape after the print process. In addition, the feed portion feeds the tape forward as the post-print feed such that the upstream-side end of an image printed on the tape is positioned on the downstream side of a cut position and the tape backward as the pre-print feed when the cut portion has not performed a cut operation after the post-print feed at the time of starting the following print process.

主权项

1. A tape printer comprising:
a feed portion that performs forward feed to feed a tape in a forward direction and backward feed to feed the tape in a backward direction; a feed path along which the tape is fed in the forward direction and the backward direction; a print portion that performs a print process of an image on the tape at a print position of the feed path; and a cut portion that performs a cut operation to cut off the tape at a cut position on a downstream side of the print position of the feed path, wherein the feed portion performs
pre-print feed to feed the tape before the print process andpost-print feed to feed the tape after the print process, and the feed portion feedsthe tape forward as the post-print feed such that an upstream-side end of the image printed on the tape is positioned on a downstream side of the cut position andthe tape backward as the pre-print feed when the cut portion has not performed the cut operation after the post-print feed at a time of starting a following print process, wherein the feed portion feeds the tape backward as the pre-print feed by a distance greater than a distance between the print position and the cut position when the cut portion has not performed the cut o oration the post-print feed at the time of starting the print process.
