Abstract
A tape printing apparatus has a main body, a print device mounted on the main body, and a tape wound body being rotatably supported on the main body. The tape wound body has an annular core member, and a print tape wound on the annular core member. The print tape includes a tape base material including a print surface, and an adhesive layer being exposed to a surface opposite to the print surface of said tape base material. The print device prints data on the print surface of the print tape wound on the tape wound body. The print device contacts an outermost print surface of the print tape. The main body includes a bias device for urging the tape wound body toward the print device, a tape feeder for rotating the tape wound body in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the tape wound body, and a tape separator for separating the print tape by peeling off the print tape in a wound state.
