A linerless label is printed and separated from a ribbon () of the labels by a label printer (') having a printing unit (&#x2032;), a holder () for the linerless label ribbon, a cutting unit () and a paper-feeding unit (&#x2032;). The paper-feeding unit advances the linerless label ribbon through the printing unit and the cutting unit. The printing unit prints a part of the linerless label ribbon as it is advanced. The printed linerless label () is separated from the linerless label ribbon by the closing of at least two blades () arranged on the sides of the linerless label ribbon. Afterward, the blades return to an open starting position for a next cutting operation. Before the blades open, the linerless label ribbon is pulled back from the blades, creating a distance (z) between the linerless label ribbon and the blades).

A weighing scale () is designed for use in a first and a second configuration. In the first configuration, a base unit () has a main plane disposed horizontally with a load receiver () extending parallel thereto. A weighing cell () is mounted under the load receiver in the base unit and measures a weighing force acting perpendicular to the main plane. In the second configuration, the main plane is disposed vertically, with the load receiver hanging below the base unit as a suspended weighing pan, with the weighing cell mounted in the base unit to measure a vertical weighting force that is parallel to the main plane of the base unit.

Modular weighing scale that allows a weighing cell to be mounted inside a base in two different orthogonal orientations

An arrangement of connector ports for an electronic device, specifically for a weighing platform unit (), includes a plurality of connector sockets () which are installed in one or more walls of a chassis () thereof. The one or more walls that carry the connector sockets are interior partitioning walls that define a connector port compartment () inside the chassis. Furthermore, at least one wall section of the connector port compartment is an exterior wall section of the chassis and contains a passage opening (). Electrical cables () that are terminated by plugs matching the connector sockets can be introduced into the connector port compartment through this passage opening.

A modular support column allows electrical signal- and power-transmitting lines between a data-processing device and an associated weighing device to be enclosed. The modular support column includes a foot module (), at least a primary pole module (), at least one adapter module (), mechanical connector elements () and fasteners (). The modular support column, when assembled, has a central axis (a) defining an axial direction. A first axial end () of the primary pole module is connected to the foot module which, in turn, is to a chassis base () of a weighing scale (). A second axial end () is connected to the at least one adapter module. The mechanical connector elements and fasteners are also enclosed. Extension pole modules () and adapter modules () can extend the modular support column.

A method and device for improving the handling, in a label printer, of labels without a carrier strip operates by reversing the direction of transport of the label medium for a short distance before transporting the medium in the printing direction, allowing the label strip to reliably detach from a transport roller () that is used to guide the label strip through the printer.

In a weighing scale including a load receiving member (2) being elastically deflectably guided by virtue of a parallel guide mechanism (3, 4) is provided an electromagnetic compensating system (12, 13, 16) for detecting the deflection which is proportional to the load. In order to achieve high precision and a simple construction, a lever (6) being located between said compensating system and said load receiving member (2) is supported on an elastic member (11), thereby preventing any positional changes in the compensating system or any non-homogeneity errors associated therewith (FIG. 1).
