ABSTRACT:
A copying machine of the present invention has a scanner unit (2) for reading an original, a line type thermal head (14) for printing read image data on tape (16) to be used as a recording medium, a tape cartridge (51) for supplying the tape and a tape conveying mechanism. The tape (16) has an image carrying sheet (161), the front surface of which is a printing face to be printed with an image, an adhesive layer (162) formed by applying an adhesive to the back surface of this image carrying sheet and a release sheet (163) releasably stuck to the surface of the adhesive layer. The tape is taken up like a roll and is detachably fitted into the body of the copying machine in the form of the tape cartridge (51). At both ends of the tape, conveyance border portions of a uniform width are formed. In the border portions, engaging holes ( ) are formed at regular intervals in the direction of the length of the tape. The tape conveying mechanism has sprockets (183, 184), on the outer circumferences of which projections being capable of engaging with the engaging holes are formed. The tape can be conveyed with high precision and a desired image can be printed thereon. Thereby, the copying machine of the present invention can easily obtain a tape, which has a desired image copied and is able to be stuck to a desired place.
