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.
