Abstract: There is disclosed a tag making and stacking system, tag stackers and stack trays. To increase tag making capacity, a wide tag web is slit into completely severed narrow tag webs which are cut apart to form tags which are immediately separated and formed into spaced apart stacks. The new system includes a printer and a stacking system to receive and stack tags. The stacking system includes a tag stacker and a removable tag-receiving tray to facilitate transferring a stack of tags from the tag stacker to the place where the tags are to be used. A method of handling tags involves the provision of at least first and second removable trays wherein a first tray with a stack of tags can be replaced by an empty second tray so that the stacking of additional tags can recommence without waiting for the first tray to be emptied.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved stacker, method of stacking sheets such as tags, and a stack of sheets. The stacker and the stacking method produces a stack of sheets, wherein same-size sheets are stacked so that the endmost sheet or sheets in one batch are offset or staggered to provide batch separators in a stack of sheets. The stacker includes an improved sheet feed mechanism that enables sheets having different characteristics to be fed without disassembling any portion of the mechanism or the stacker.

Abstract: Disclosed are a printer and a stacker and methods. The printer prints selectively on one or both sides of a printable web and sheets or labels are cut from the web and stacked in the stacker. The printer has an unwind mechanism that accepts and holds web rolls of different widths in center-justified relationship with respect to a print head. The printer has a spindle for mounting an ink ribbon core with a detent for center-justifying the ink-ribbon with respect to the print head.

Abstract: Apparatus for cutting a continuously fed web into sheets and for vertically stacking such sheets. The apparatus receives the web between a pair of cutting knives, one of which is periodically rotatable by a motor periodically connected thereto by a pulse fed electrical clutch, and the resulting sheets are conveyed to a vertical stacker by a plurality of laterally spaced conveyor belts driven by the motor. The stacker has a pair of sheet receiving uprights adjustable toward and away from each other and which are mounted on an adjustable stop for engaging the leading edges of the sheets. The stop and the uprights are adjustable in angle with respect to the vertical. A roller below the stack has either crown portions beneath the belt or non-circular portions between pairs of belts to urge the sheets into the stack. Stripping fingers are between pairs of belts for removing the sheets from the belts. To prevent throwing of the sheets, a hold-down roller engages the web adjacent to where it is cut.

Abstract: There is disclosed a printer including a print head and a mounting assembly for a web roll having a core. The mounting assembly can center-justify the roll with respect to the print head. The roll can be loaded simply by pushing the roll slidably onto the mounting assembly and unloaded by pulling the roll or its core slidably off the mounting assembly using one hand. In some embodiments, there is no need separately to undo any latch or to free the roll or its core from any latch other than by pushing or pulling on the roll or the core. In another embodiment, one of the stops is pivoted either to trap the core between the one stop and another stop or to enable the core to be slid onto the support to a position between the stops or to be slid off the support.
