Tape printing device with adhesive transfer mechanism before printing section

A printing device comprising:

• a feeder roller that feeds a printing target member;
• a driver that rotates the feeder roller;
• a printing section that performs printing on the printing target member;
• a cutter that cuts the printing target member in a direction orthogonal to a feeding direction of the printing target member;
• a transfer mechanism which causes a transfer member to contact with the printing target member while feeding the transfer member, the transfer member comprising a tape-shaped mat and an adhesive on a first side of the tape-shaped mat, so as to transfer the adhesive onto a surface of the printing target member where no printing is performed;
• and
• a controller that selectively controls the transfer mechanism to cause transfer of the adhesive onto the surface of the printing target member where no printing is performed,
• wherein the controller controls transfer mechanism to transfer the adhesive onto the surface of the printing target member at a predetermined interval in a feeding direction of the printing target member such that the adhesive extends in a dot manner or in a linear manner in a direction orthogonal to the feeding direction of the printing target member, and
• wherein the controller controls the cutter to cuts the printing target member at a position based on the predetermined interval.
