Embodiment Construction

[0043] The mechanical configuration of the printing apparatus will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 . The label substrate comprises a strip 2 on which a printing device in which the label substrate is inserted can print an image. The strap 2 is accommodated on the strap holder 6, Figure 4 , 4 a and 4b show their details more clearly. The tape holder 6 comprises side walls 60 and an inner reel 62 on which a roll of tape 2 is wound. The inner reel 62 can rotate in the belt holder 6 when the belt 2 is unrolled. A spring clip 64 is attached to the flange on the tape holder and presses against the spool 62 . The spring clip 64 prevents excessive expansion of the strap. An annular rib 58 is provided on each side of the tape holder 6, which is accommodated in the first receiving portion 66 of the printing device.

[0044] Figure 4 This first receiving portion 66 is shown in D with side supports 86 , 88 each having an inwardly facing recessed portion 67 desig...

Abstract

A printing apparatus using a consumable providing at least one of an image receiving tape, the consumable carrying a tag holding parameter information identifying the width of the tape and status information including the amount of tape remaining in the consumable, the printing apparatus comprising: printing means for printing an image; a tag reader arranged to receive said information from the tag via a contactless link in the form of electromagnetic waves; and a processor arranged to (i) receive said information and to control operation of the printing apparatus in dependence thereon including selecting a printing operation based on the identified width, and (ii) update the status information based on usage of the tape via the contactless link.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the provision of information on consumables in thermal printers. Background technique [0002] Thermal printers are widely known and generally include a printing device including a thermally activated printhead for printing an image on an image receiving tape. Typically, the image receiving tape has an upper layer for receiving an image and a releasable liner or backing layer adhered to the upper layer by means of an adhesive so that after the image has been printed, the The liner or backing layer can be peeled off and the image receiving tape can be attached in the form of a label. Such thermal printers include a cutter for cutting a length of image receiving tape after the image has been printed. Such thermal printers operate using consumables in the form of image receiving tape or other image receiving substrates such as heat shrink tubing, magnetic, iron-on labels, plastic tape, and the like.
