A molded product for an operation panelis produced by injection molding or the like. A set of charactersindicative of the type of each operation switchis formed, by a screen printing process, at a location near to the subject switch opening portions. Next, another screen printing process is executed to form a set of Braille dotsindicative of each set of charactersat a location overlapping the subject set of characters. Accordingly, sticking spaces which are required in the case of sticking seals of the Braille dotsare unnecessary any more. The Braille dotscan be arranged freely in a narrow space. Even though the surfaceof the operation panelis curved, it is ensured that the Braille dotsbe arranged in a secured layout, unlike the case of sticking a Braille tape on the surface

Method of manufacturing operation panel for printer

In a label adhesion device for automatically adhering a plurality of labels on one side of a plurality of adhered to members, a cassette storing an ink ribbon, a first roll type support member on which a plurality of print labels are temporarily adhered and a second roll type support member on which a plurality of cover labels are temporarily adhered is detachably mounted on a movable carriage for movement along one side or end portion of an adhered to member inserted in a sheet inlet provided on a main body case of the label adhesion device. The carriage includes a print head for printing desired character image on a projected portion of the label, a drive unit for feeding the first roll type support member and the second roll type support member in a predetermined direction, and a pressing unit for pressing the print label and the cover label holding the adhered member therebetween. The carriage is moved a predetermined distance according to data for number of labels, label size and interval of labels for printing the label and adhering it to the successive adhered to members at each position.
