Abstract
It is intended to provide a tape producing apparatus capable of printing on an appropriate printing medium with high quality based on data directly read from marks which are continuously printed on a release paper to show a type of a printing medium, with non-contact tape type identification devices. The tape producing apparatus comprises non-contact tape type discrimination sensors. Each label tape includes the adhesive and the release paper for protecting the adhesive. The release paper is provided with only one of the tape type identification marks which are printed continuously to show the types of the materials to produce the label tape. The non-contact tape type discrimination sensors read the tape type identification marks which are printed continuously to show the types of the materials to produce the label tape.
