ABSTRACT:
A gapless label media which can be carried by a liner or be linerless. Apparatus is also disclosed for printing on and applying resultant labels which are staggered laterally across the media width. In an embodiment of the invention, the label printer comprises a printhead for printing on the media, a sensor sensing the leading edge of each first label at a known distance from the printhead and a drive system moving the plurality of labels from a position of the sensor to a pre-established print position under the printhead. In another embodiment of the present invention, in which there may be lateral drift of the labels, the sensor senses along a path having a width greater than a maximum amount of lateral drift of the plurality of labels. Alternatively, plural sensors may be utilized to detect plural paths through the labels to detect lateral drift of the labels, or to detect alternating ones of the labels.
