Abstract
A method for printing and applying labels is provided. The method comprises printing indicia on a first label using a printer to form a first printed label and holding said the label in a holding tray. An arm is rotated in a first direction from an original to collect the label from the holding tray. The arm is rotated in a second direction opposing the first direction to clear the holding tray. The printer has printed a second label before the arm returns to the original position to collect the second label from the holding tray.
