An automatic label winding and charging device is provided for use with a portable label applying system in which labels temporarily adhered in series to a web of backing paper are printed with bar codes or the like by the action of a printer. The label web having printed labels is fed to a take-up cassette that is removably mounted in the printer, being removable therefrom for insertion in a dispenser for applying the printed labels to commodities. The automatic label winding and charging device comprises a cassette guide member for guiding the cassette when the latter is to be mounted in the printer. Pressure releasing means is provided for releasing the label web so that it may be freely advanced.
