ELECTRONIC HAND LABELER

摘要

ELECTRONIC HAND LABELER A hand held thermal printer has a hingedly mounted bottom cover which can be opened to provide comfortable access into the printer and therefore substantially simplified loading of a roll of labels into the printer. The platen roller of the printer which normally abuts the print head of the printer is supported on a pivotable platen arm. The platen arm, like the bottom cover can be pivoted to an open position to provide direct access to the print head. The print head is held in place by a retainer plate which is held by screws and the screws can be simply loosened to permit the print head to be easily replaced. In the open position of the platen arm a wide and straight label passage is created through which the leading end of the backing sheet on which the labels are located could be easily threaded into the printer.
