Abstract
A printer () for hand-labeling devices () has printing bands () bearing print types (). Each band is positively guided around a selector wheel () and around a counter-pressure element () spaced apart from the wheel. Selected types () are set into printing position on the counter-pressure element () by rotation of the selector wheel (). The selector wheel () has engagement recesses () into which a stop member elastically engages when a printing position is reached, thereby fixing the selector wheel (), and hence the printing band (), in the printing position. The stop member is provided as a comb-shaped stop spring () having individual teeth or elastic tongues (thru), with one elastic tongue being associated with each selector wheel ().
