    摘要: Various embodiments disclose a printing apparatus. The apparatus includes a ribbon supply spool configured to facilitate traversal of ribbon along a ribbon conveyance path. Further, the apparatus includes a ribbon take-up spool positioned downstream of the ribbon supply spool along the ribbon conveyance path configured to receive the ribbon after a printing operation. Further, the apparatus includes a ribbon support plate positioned in the ribbon conveyance path between the ribbon supply spool and the ribbon take-up spindle, wherein the ribbon support plate includes a plurality of protruding segments extending along the ribbon conveyance path, wherein the plurality of protruding segments facilitates stretching of the ribbon as the ribbon traverses along the ribbon conveyance path.

    摘要: A printer assembly is described that includes a media hub configured to receive a media roll and supply a media from the media roll along a media path, wherein the media includes a plurality of labels each comprising a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) inlay. The printer assembly also includes a media guide positioned adjacent to the media path. The media guide includes an RFID antenna, with the RFID antenna communicatively coupled to an RFID control system and configured to transmit signals to encode the RFID inlay on a first label. The media guide also includes at least one shield, wherein the at least one shield is positioned adjacent to the RFID antenna to prevent, during an encoding of the RFID inlay on the first label of the plurality of labels, an encoding of the RFID inlay on a second label of the plurality of labels.
