ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a hand-held labeler having a print head with electrically selectable printing elements for printing and applying pressure sensitive labels. The labeler has a housing with a handle and structure for mounting a roll of pressure sensitive labels releasably carried on a carrier web. The labeler has a movable section which mounts a keyboard and a control circuit on a circuit board. The control circuit controls the printing elements. Labels are printed by the printing elements as the carrier web is advanced, and labels are delaminated at a delaminator and dispensed into label applying relation to an applicator. The print head is mounted on a support and is continuously spring-urged toward the platen. Movement of the print head toward the platen is limited to prevent damage. The support and the print head can be moved away from the platen from the outside of the labeler to facilitate threading of the web. The print head support can be skewed to provide uniform pressure contact of the printing elements with the labels. An electrical energy source, for example a battery, can be located in a hole in the label roll. Electrical energy from the battery terminals passes to the control circuit via contacts associated with the label roll mounting structure. In another embodiment, the handle can comprise a rechargeable battery. The drive includes an electrical stepping motor and in another embodiment, the drive is mechanically accomplished.
