THERMAL TRANSFER LABEL PRINTER, AND THERMAL TRANSFER INK RIBBON DETECTION METHOD OF THERMAL TRANSFER LABEL PRINTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer label printer capable of preventing occurrence of a wrinkle by detecting an end of a thermal transfer ink ribbon 3 of a roll-like combined mount-less label 1 and also being used as the thermal transfer label printer in which a mount-less label 2 and other labels, and the thermal transfer ink ribbon 3 are loaded in separate feed sections, and to provide a thermal transfer ink ribbon detection method of the thermal transfer label printer.;SOLUTION: Focusing on using a ribbon feed shaft of a thermal transfer label printer also as a detection guide roller 31 for a thermal transfer ink ribbon 3 of a roll-like combined mount-less label 1, the thermal transfer label printer has: a feed part 12 capable of holding the roll-like combined mount-less label 1; the detection guide roller 31 for guiding the thermal transfer ink ribbon 3; a thermal transfer print part 16 for printing on a mount-less label 2 with the thermal transfer ink ribbon 3 from the detection guide roller 31; and a transfer state detection part 36 provided on the detection guide roller 31 and capable of detecting a transfer state of the thermal transfer ink ribbon 3.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT
