Abstract
The direction in which the media traymoves in and out of the printer and the direction in which the inkjet headmoves when printing are on the same line along the front-to-back axis Y of the label printer, and the written mediumB carried on the media trayis positioned on the printing line of the inkjet headwhen the media traymoves to the tray retraction positionA. Moving the media trayretracted inside the printer widthwise to the printer from the tray retraction positionA to the printing position is unnecessary, and printing can start immediately while moving the media trayfrom the tray retraction positionA on the widthwise axis X of the printer. The width of the label printercan be reduced because the media traymoves only the diameter of the media widthwise to the printer.
