Drucker zum Drucken von Etiketten mit einem Abziehmechanismus zum Abziehen von Etiketten von einem Band

摘要

A printer for printing labels (14c) of a recording medium (14A) that has a plurality of labels (14c) affixed to a continuous web (14b) comprises: a peeling mechanism (30) arranged to be switched between a peeling position, in which printed labels (14c) are peeled from the web (14b), and a retracted position, in which the printed labels (14c) are not peeled from the web (14b); a label exit for discharging peeled labels (14c) when the peeling mechanism (30) is switched to the peeling position and for discharging the web (14b) and the labels (14c) intact thereon when the peeling mechanism (30) is switched to the retracted position; and a label detector (21) for detecting if a peeled label is present in the label exit (12). When the peeling mechanism (30) is switched to the retracted position, the label detector (21) is switched in conjunction therewith to a label detection disabled state in which the label detector (21) indicates that no label is present in the label exit.
