ABSTRACT:
A continuous paper autoloading mechanism for a thermal printer comprises a continuous paper supply section, a paper feeder, a pitch sensor for detecting the pitch of labels or tags detachably attached to the continuous paper and for producing pitch signals, a paper guide and a printer section having a paper feeding capability, all disposed in succession in the direction of paper feed. The paper feeding functions provided by the paper feeder and the printer section are synchronized and controlled in response to the pitch signals for feeding the leading edge of a first label on the continuous paper into proper alignment with the printer head, in a manner which avoids wastage of labels and carbon ribbon during the autoloading process.
