Label printer with a label peeling mechanism and a control method for the same

摘要

A label printing apparatus having an on-board peeling mechanism determines the appropriate time to run a process for setting the paper. Paper having a plurality of labels continuously affixed to a web liner is set inside the label printing apparatus when a main cover (2b) is open. Whether or not the peeling mechanism is used is selected by selecting the exit from which the web is passed outside the printer when a peeling mechanism cover (5) attached to the main cover (2b) is open. A control method for this printer has a step of waiting for input from an input unit when the main cover (2b) is closed after putting the paper inside the label printer, and a step of executing a paper setup process when input is detected in step.
