Method and apparatus for peeling a releasable sheet from an adhesive label.

摘要

After an operator places a label made in a recording device into a slot of, for example, a lettering pen, the operator rotates the lettering pen so as to bend the label causing an image receiving tape portion of the label to face itself, with the lettering pen therebetween. The operator then grasps one end of the label and moves the lettering pen away from the grasped end so as to remove the label from the slot of the lettering pen. This causes a portion of a releasable sheet portion of the label to be separated from the image receiving tape portion of the label. Instead of rotating the lettering pen, the label can be bent around two members forming a slot. A kit including the slotted pen and a tape printer can also be provided, or a slot-defining element can be mounted on a main body of the tape printer.
