LABEL PRINTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013001000
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a label printer able to ensure print precision by accurately detecting a position detecting mark put on recording paper in advance, without being affected by a change in the height of the surface of the recording paper due to conveyance.

The label printer comprises: a sensor configured to optically read a mark put on the recording paper; a sensor box holding the sensor and configured to position the sensor opposite the surface of the recording paper; a recording-paper pressing member which is provided in the sensor box so as to extend in a direction orthogonal to the direction of conveyance of the recording paper, and which comes into contact with the surface of the recording paper to smooth the recording paper guided to an area opposite the sensor; and an elastic body which brings the recording-paper pressing member into contact with the surface of the recording paper by elastically supporting the sensor box, and which keeps the clearance, between the surface of the recording paper and the sensor, constant.
