<p>The invention relates to a tape printing apparatus (2) for printing an image on an image receiving tape (38). In order to detect characteristics of the tape, thus avoiding representation means on a tape cassette, it is proposed to have detecting means (72) for detecting markings (70) provided on the image receiving tape (38), which provide information on a characteristic of the tape (38); and the tape printing apparatus (2) is controlled in accordance with the detected characteristics. Alternatively, it is proposed to have monitoring means for monitoring the speed of the image receiving tape (38), which detect markings (70) on said image receiving tape (38) whereby the printing means is controlled in dependence on the detected speed. Consequently, the exact tape speed is considered for printing purposes, even when slippage between driving means and tape occurs.</p> |
