Disclosed is a label printer, configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead, wherein the carrier tape is led between the printhead and a counter-element; a drive mechanism for the carrier tape having a driven carrier tape drawing roller; and at least one non-driven carrier tape pressure roller, associated with the carrier tape drawing roller, that is rotatable about a rotational axis, wherein the carrier tape is led between the carrier tape drawing roller and the respective carrier tape pressure roller and is transported along a predefined carrier tape transport path. The respective carrier tape pressure roller is supported perpendicular to its rotational axis and in a displacement direction toward the carrier tape drawing roller, with a spring device being provided to exert a pressing force onto the carrier tape, said spring device preloading the respective carrier tape pressure roller in the displacement direction.

Label printer

Disclosed is a label printer, having a first receiver for a printhead; at least two mutually different printhead units, each configured as a replaceable module and that each have a printhead, wherein one of the two printhead units is selectively received by the first receiver in an assembled state; a second receiver for a guide unit for the carrier tape having a counter-element to the printhead that is configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead; and at least two mutually different guide units for the carrier tape, each configured as a replaceable module and that each have a counter-element to the printhead that is configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead, wherein one of the two guide units for the carrier tape is selectively received by the second receiver in the assembled state.

Disclosed is a label printer having a driven carrier tape drawing roller; and a guide unit for the carrier tape, said guide unit being pivotably supported about a pivot axle between an operating position and an insertion position for the carrier tape, wherein the guide unit includes a counter-element to the printhead, configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead in the operating position; wherein, in the operating position, the carrier tape is led between the printhead and the counter-element and between the carrier tape drawing roller and the respective carrier tape pressure roller and can in particular be transported along a predefined carrier tape transport path; and wherein, in the insertion position of the guide unit, the counter-element is pivoted away from the printhead and the respective carrier tape pressure roller is pivoted away from the carrier tape drawing roller.

Disclosed is a label printer, having a printhead and a counter-element to the printhead, wherein a carrier tape is led between the printhead and the counter-element; a drive mechanism for the carrier tape having a driven carrier tape drawing roller; and at least one non-driven carrier tape pressure roller that is associated with the carrier tape drawing roller, wherein, the carrier tape drawing roller and the respective carrier tape pressure roller are arranged after the printhead and the counter-element, wherein the drive mechanism for the carrier tape comprises a further driven carrier tape drawing roller and a further non-driven carrier tape pressure roller associated with the further carrier tape drawing roller is provided, with the further carrier tape drawing roller and the further carrier tape pressure roller, arranged in front of the printhead and the counter-element.

The invention relates to an applicator device for applying wrapping labels () to packagings (), having a transverse transport device () which is configured for transporting a label, which is first of all dispensed by a label dispenser, in particular a label printer (), in the vertical direction into an intermediate position, from the intermediate position transversely with respect to the vertical into an application position, in which the label can be received by a packaging which is running through.
