20160129706 | PRINTER - In order to provide a printer capable of detecting a continuous paper sheet without causing a sensor provided in the downstream side of a thermal head from being hindered by an ink ribbon, the printer includes: a main body ( | 05-12-2016 |
20160107459 | PRINTER AND METHOD FOR PRINTING - A printer using heat to print on a print medium improves a print processing speed over an entire print surface of a print medium. In print processing of a label (PL), the feeding speed at a print region (SW) for printing a barcode or the like is slower than a standard feeding speed, and the feeding speed at a margin region (SY) that has a length that is at least a predetermined length in the feeding direction (F) among the margin regions is faster than the standard feeding speed. Further, the feeding speed at a printing area (NW) for printing character, symbol, or the like, and the feeding speed at a margin region (NY) that has a length smaller than the predetermined length in the feeding direction (F) are set to the standard feeding speed. Accordingly, the print processing speed over the entire print surface of the label (PL) may be improved in the printer using heat to print on a label (PL). | 04-21-2016 |
20160052319 | PRINTER COVER LOCKING MECHANISM - A printer cover locking mechanism has a reduced number of parts and may be assembled in a small space, by simplification of a print head (thermal head ( | 02-25-2016 |
20160052304 | PRINTER - A printer according to an embodiment includes: a printer body including a supplying part that rotatably holds a roll-shaped sheet member; an opening and closing cover configured to open and close with respect to the printer body; a thermal head disposed on the printer body, the thermal head configured to print on the sheet member; a platen roller disposed on the opening and closing cover, the platen roller positioned at a location opposite to the thermal head and feeding the sheet member in a closed configuration; and a platen roller holding mechanism configured to attachably and detachably secure the platen roller to the opening and closing cover. The platen roller holding mechanism includes a label roll supporter that rotatably guides the roll-shaped sheet member in the supplying part. The label roll supporter includes a cross-sectional arc-shaped surface. | 02-25-2016 |
20150042742 | OPENING/CLOSING APPARATUS AND PRINTER HAVING OPENING/CLOSING APPARATUS - A two-way-openable printer includes a hinge portion for connecting an upper unit and a lower unit, provided at the rear of the printer, and a paper ejection opening of the printer at the front. The hinge portion has a lower hinge bracket connected to the lower unit, an upper hinge bracket connected to the lower hinge bracket with a pivot pin and pivotable about the pivot pin, and a bracket cover for the upper hinge bracket. The upper unit has a portion which allows the upper unit to pivot about the bracket cover. The upper unit has a first opening mode in which it is opened at the front ejection opening side, and a second opening mode in which it is fully opened by pivoting at the hinge portion so that a first side surface of the upper unit faces downward and an opposite side surface faces upward. | 02-12-2015 |
20130250027 | THERMAL HEAD AND THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTER USING THERMAL HEAD - A thermal head in a thermal transfer printer in which a tension is given to an ink ribbon that has warped as being heated by the thermal head to reduce friction force generated between the thermal head and the ink ribbon. A ribbon transport direction changing member | 09-26-2013 |
