Abstract
A label peeling device has a holding unit that can hold label paper conveyed from a label printer that ejects ink onto label paper P having labels Pb and a liner Pa to which the labels Pb are affixed; a peeling unit that is disposed downstream on the label paper P conveyance path from the holding unit, can move bidirectionally between a start peeling position separated from the holding unit and an end peeling position near the holding unit, and peels labels Pb from the liner Pa by moving from the start peeling position to the end peeling position; a motor that moves the peeling unit; an encoder that detects the position of the peeling unit; and a controller that controls the motor based on the position of the peeling unit detected by the encoder.
Claims19
A label peeling device comprising:
- a holding unit configured to hold label paper conveyed from a fluid ejection device that ejects fluid onto label paper having labels and a liner to which the labels are affixed;
- and
- a peeling unit configured to peel labels from the liner of the label paper fed from the fluid ejection device and is disposed downstream on the label paper conveyance path from the holding unit;
- the holding unit holds the label paper when the holding unit peels labels from the liner.
A fluid ejection device comprising:
- a fluid ejection unit configured to eject fluid onto label paper, the label paper including labels and a liner to which the labels are affixed;
- a peeling unit configured to peel labels from the liner of the label paper fed from the fluid ejection unit;
- and
- a holding unit disposed and is configured to hold the label paper upstream on the label paper conveyance path from the peeling unit;
- the holding unit holding the label paper when the peeling unit peels the label from the liner.
A label peeling method of a label peeling device, comprising:
- holding by a holding unit label paper conveyed from a fluid ejection device that ejects fluid onto label paper having labels and a liner to which the labels are affixed;
- and
- peeling a label from the liner by a peeling member disposed downstream on the label paper conveyance path from the holding unit moving from a start peeling position separated from the holding unit to an end peeling position proximal to the holding unit.
