ABSTRACT:
A printer with a peeler mechanism1for peeling labels from a web, the printer having a movable web pressure roller24which may be moved from a web pressure position24A in which pressure is applied to a platen roller20to a retracted position24B in which pressure is not applied. The printer also has a photosensor21and photoreceptor having an emitter/receptor surface21afor detecting the presence and absence of labels peeled from the web. A window22bin the label guide surface22abecomes covered to shield the photosensor output for defining a no-label detection stateWhether the peeler mechanism is set to operate in the label peeling mode or is set to a retracted position defining a non-peeling continuous label dispensing mode of operation can be determined based on the output of the label detection photosensor21, and the label dispensing mode can be set to the label peeling mode or continuous label dispensing mode based on this determination.
