ABSTRACT:
The two part cassette for a label printer consists of an adapter 1 and a reload unit 2. The adapter 1 contains a colored tape spool 16, from which the colored tape 19 is pulled off via a re-route device 13. The used tape 19 is wound up on a wind-up core 18. The reload unit 2 contains a spool 42 with a transparent tape 44, which is pulled off and passes across a print head 22 along with the colored tape 19. From another spool 43 in the reload unit 2, a dual-faced adhesive tape 45 is pulled off and adhered by a transport roller 50 onto the printed transparent tape 44. The transparent tape 44 and the adhesive tape 45 exit jointly from an exit slot 48 in the reload unit. This construction facilitates reloading of the adapter 1 with the economically manufacturable and recyclable reload units 2. This construction also affords the option of combining a selection of print colors, adhesive tape colors, and label widths. As a result, the color assortment and width assortment which must be kept in inventory is reduced and the combination of color and width combinations possible are expanded.
