<p>A printing apparatus (11) including a supporting structure (27) and structure for mounting a reel (15) for rotation on the supporting structure. Tubing (17) is wound on the reel and encoded information relating to a characteristic of the tubing is provided on the reel. The tubing can be pulled from the reel and moved through the printing apparatus. A controllable printer (21) is mounted on the supporting structure for printing on the tubing. A sensor (13) senses the encoded information and a microprocessor (19) controls the printer in accordance with the encoded information sensed by the sensor so that the printer is controlled in accordance with the characteristic of the tubing.</p> |
