    摘要: A printing apparatus includes: a feeding shaft configured to support a roll body; a printing section configured to perform printing on a medium fed from the feeding shaft; a tension applying unit configured to come into contact with the medium after the medium is fed out from the feeding shaft and before the medium reaches the printing section, thereby applying tension to the medium; and a control unit, in which the tension applying unit includes: a tension bar configured to come into contact with the medium; an arm configured to support the tension bar and rotate to displace the tension bar; an encoder configured to detect a rotational angle of the arm; and a stopper configured to come into contact with the tension bar or the arm to restrict movement of the tension bar and the arm, and the control unit sets, as a reference angle of the arm, a rotational angle of the arm detected by the encoder in a state in which the tension bar or the arm is in contact with the stopper.

    摘要: Disclosed is a label application device for applying a label to an object. The label application device comprises a media roll holder configured to secure a media roll, a tamp arm configured to move from a retracted position to an extended position, and a print head located between the media roll holder and the tamp arm. The print head is configured to receive the media roll, feed the media roll into the print head, and eject the media roll. The tamp arm comprises a tamp pad attached to an end of the tamp arm. The tamp pad comprises a vacuum port configured to suction the media roll against the tamp pad. The tamp arm further comprises a blade attached to the tamp arm. The blade is configured to cut the media roll as the tamp arm moves from the retracted position to the extended position.

    摘要: A thermal printer includes: a housing including a roll sheet receiving portion; a cover which is pivotably attached to the housing, and is configured to open and close the roll sheet receiving portion; a platen roller which is rotatably supported on the cover via a bearing portion; and a thermal head which is to be brought into press contact with an outer peripheral surface of the platen roller. The cover includes a cover main body and a base member which is fixed to the cover main body. Directions orthogonal to an axial direction of the platen roller and also orthogonal to each other are defined as a first direction and a second direction, respectively. The cover main body includes a first holding portion which supports the bearing portion from one side in the first direction. The base member includes a second holding portion which supports the bearing portion from the other side in the first direction. The first holding portion is located on one side in a second direction with respect to the bearing portion, and includes a first claw portion protruding to the other side in the first direction along an outer peripheral surface of the bearing portion. The second holding portion is located on the one side in the second direction with respect to the bearing portion, and includes a second claw portion protruding to the one side in the first direction along the outer peripheral surface of the bearing portion. The first claw portion and the second claw portion face each other in the first direction.
