A printing apparatus and method that provides for severing of prints from receiver media being printed. The receiver media is moved in a process direction past plural printing stations and the printing stations are recording images upon the receiver sheet. While printing is occurring a cutting mechanism having one or more cutting elements is operated to cut the receiver media along a transverse direction to separate a previously printed image on the receiver media from a portion of the receiver media being currently printed. The cutting mechanism includes a clamping member located proximate the one or more cutting elements for stopping movement of the receiver sheet downstream of the clamping mechanism to provide for a substantially square cut relative to the process direction of the receiver media.

A cabinet is formed on the top face with an entry opening for rolled paper, and a storage section for accommodating the rolled paper. A cover is provided for opening/closing the entry opening, and the upper front of the cover is provided as a slipsheet entry face for inserting a slipsheet. The slipsheet entry face is formed in one side margin with a slipsheet guide along the insertion direction of the slipsheet. A paper discharge slot of the rolled paper is formed by a gap between a buff portion of the cabinet and the tip of the cover, when the cover is closed. The paper discharge slot is at a position lower than that of the slipsheet entry face. A slipsheet print section is placed on the upper rear portion of the cover.

There is provided a printer comprising: a fixed cutting edge; and a movable cutting edge that moves toward the fixed cutting edge over a predetermined cut moving range from a cut starting position to a cut ending position, thereby to cut paper in cooperation with the fixed cutting edge. In this printer, the fixed cutting edge can move between a fixed-cutting edge mount position at which it is possible to cut the paper in cooperation with the movable cutting edge and a fixed-cutting edge dismount position at which it is not possible to cut the paper in cooperation with the movable cutting edge. When the fixed cutting edge is at the fixed-cutting edge mount position, the movable cutting edge can move between a movable-cutting edge cut position, at which movement of the fixed cutting edge toward the fixed-cutting edge dismount position is not permitted, and a movable-cutting edge non-cut position, at which movement of the fixed cutting edge toward the fixed-cutting edge dismount position is permitted.

A gear drive system for a printer designed to print upon a continuous roll of paper and having a blade used to cut off printed portions of paper from the paper roll is implemented. The gear drive system consists of a drive shaft 330, a slip clutch 401, a clutch gear 116, a drive gear 110, and a staggered gear 112 which controls the paper cutter blade 106. During printing, clutch 401 allows the drive shaft 330 shaft to slip relative to the clutch gear 116. When printing stops, clutch 401 locks clutch gear 116 which is engaged with the first portion of staggered gear 112 and causes staggered gear 112 to rotate until the second portion of staggered gear 112 engages the drive gear 110. Staggered gear 112 is then driven by the drive gear 110. A cutter blade is controlled by staggered gear 112, with the blade cutting off the paper as the drive gear 110 is in reverse rotation. After the paper is cut, drive gear 110 resumes its forward rotation, rotating staggered gear 112 and consequently, rotating cutter blade 106 away from the paper. After the blade has been rotated, staggered gear 110 continues to turn, until the drive gear disengages with the second portion of the staggered gear. Full torque is applied to both cutting and opening rotations of the cutter blade.

A printer includes a paper roll holder holding a roll of paper, a paper feed path guiding the paper from the paper roll holder, a printing head provided on a portion of the paper feed path for printing on the paper, and a cutter disposed on the paper feed path between the paper roll holder and the printing head for cutting the unraveled paper roll. A method for loading a paper roll to a printer includes the step of cutting the unraveled paper roll at a position upstream of the printing head, before the edge of the paper driven reaches a position downstream of the printing head. By positioning the cutter upstream of the printing head and cutting the paper before the forward edge of the paper moves downstream of the printing head, the printing head and a platen roller can be kept free of any dirt adhering to the paper.

An apparatus for printing on a continuous web of linerless tape defined by a print side for subsequent application to an article. The apparatus includes a support, a rotatably driven platen roller, a print head, and a stripping apparatus. The support is configured to maintain a continuous web of linerless tape. The rotatably driven platen roller is located downstream of the support. The print head is associated with the platen roller. More particularly, the platen roller directs the continuous web of linerless tape past the print head for printing on the print side thereof. Finally, the stripping apparatus is positioned adjacent the platen roller and downstream of the print head for directing the web of linerless material from the platen roller. In this regard, the stripping apparatus includes a first roller and a second roller. The first roller is positioned to receive and contact the print side of the linerless tape. Conversely, the second roller is positioned to receive and contact the adhesive side of the linerless tape. The first and second rollers form a nip for engaging the linerless tape and operate in tandem to strip the linerless tape from the platen roller during use thereof. In one preferred embodiment, the second roller is configured to minimize adhesion with the adhesive side of the tape, and is rotated at a speed greater than that of the platen roller so as to impart a tension on the web of linerless tape. In another preferred embodiment, a hot ribbon wire cutter is provided to sever a label segment from a remainder of the web.

The invention relates to a printer device for printing on a paper tape and for cutting the tape into printed tickets. The device comprises a frame having a cover hinged on the frame, a printer, cutter means, and guide means for guiding the tape between the printer and the cutter means. According to the invention, the guide means are formed by two walls substantially parallel to the axis of a paper drive roller, one wall being carried by the cover and the other wall being carried by the frame, in such a manner as to impose an S-bend on the portion of the tape that extends between the printer and the cutter means.

A paper cutter includes a blade extending in the width of a rolled paper, the blade having a linear edge and a serrated edge formed at an end of the linear edge. A paper guide for discharging the paper is disposed downstream from the cutter, the paper guide having an upper and a lower member and a discharge port at the downstream end thereof. A cutout section is formed at the upper member of the paper guide, and the position of the cutout section corresponds to the serrated blade edge in the width direction of the paper. The cutout section permits the paper to be grasped with fingers by the operator. When the paper is pulled, a force acts on the paper in a direction to press it against the serrated blade edge, cutting the paper from the edge.

A separating device for a print engine separates a piece of print media from a supply of print media after printing of an image by a printhead of the print engine on said piece of print media. The separating device includes a cutter wheel which acts on the print media to part the piece from the remainder of the supply of print media. The cutter wheel is carried on a carrier. The carrier, in turn traverses a worm gear to be displaced relative to the printhead. An arm of a resiliently flexible material mounts the cutter wheel to the carrier. The arm is configured to facilitate resiliently bending out of the path of the print media of the separating means if the print media is forced prior to completion of a separating operation to inhibit damage being caused to the separating means.
