Abstract
A printer device in which a backing paper from which a label is peeled off after printing can be easily set in a conveyance path provided at a bottom of the printer device when replacing a label paper. A label printer includes: a peeling roller and a peeling pinch roller that interpose and wind the backing paper after the label is peeled off; a peeling cover portion provided at the bottom of the printer device, holding the peeling pinch roller to be pressed against the peeling roller by supporting the peeling pinch roller and rotating the peeling cover portion around a rotation shaft perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the backing paper; and a protruding portion and a magnet that holds the peeling cover portion at a label paper replacement position.
Claims20
A printer device that applies a printed label peeled off from a backing paper of a label paper to an attachment target object conveyed along a bottom surface of the printer device, the printer device comprising:
- a peeling roller and a peeling pinch roller that interpose and wind the backing paper from which the printed label is peeled off;
- a peeling cover portion provided at a bottom of the printer device, holding the peeling pinch roller to be pressed against the peeling roller by supporting the peeling pinch roller and rotating the peeling cover portion around a rotation shaft perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the backing paper;
- and
- a holding component that holds the peeling cover portion at a label paper replacement position where a replacement backing paper is inserted between the peeling roller and the peeling pinch roller when replacing the label paper by rotating the peeling cover portion around the rotation shaft, releasing pressure contact between the peeling roller and the peeling pinch roller, and aligning the rotated peeling cover portion along a guide surface on a side opposite to a side where the peeling cover portion supports the peeling pinch roller.
A label printer that applies a printed label peeled off from a backing paper of a label paper to an attachment target object conveyed along a bottom surface of the label printer, the label printer comprising:
- a peeling roller and a peeling pinch roller that interpose and wind the backing paper from which the printed label is peeled off;
- a peeling cover portion provided at a bottom of the label printer, holding the peeling pinch roller to be pressed against the peeling roller by supporting the peeling pinch roller and rotating the peeling cover portion around a rotation shaft perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the backing paper;
- and
- a holding component that holds the peeling cover portion at a label paper replacement position where a replacement backing paper is inserted between the peeling roller and the peeling pinch roller when replacing the label paper by rotating the peeling cover portion around the rotation shaft, releasing pressure contact between the peeling roller and the peeling pinch roller, and aligning the rotated peeling cover portion along a guide surface on a side opposite to a side where the peeling cover portion supports the peeling pinch roller.
A method for a printer, comprising:
- applying a printed label peeled off from a backing paper of a label paper to an attachment target object conveyed along a bottom surface of the printer;
- interposing and winding a peeling roller and a peeling pinch roller to peel off the printed label from the backing paper;
- holding the peeling pinch roller to be pressed against the peeling roller by supporting the peeling pinch roller and rotating a peeling cover portion around a rotation shaft perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the backing paper the peeling cover portion provided at a bottom of the printer;
- and
- holding the peeling cover portion at a label paper replacement position where a replacement backing paper is inserted between the peeling roller and the peeling pinch roller when replacing the label paper by rotating the peeling cover portion around the rotation shaft, releasing pressure contact between the peeling roller and the peeling pinch roller, and aligning the rotated peeling cover portion along a guide surface on a side opposite to a side where the peeling cover portion supports the peeling pinch roller.
