Abstract
A label positioning method and a label feeder for use with a continuous label printer are disclosed. The printer includes a stationary printing head for printing in position the leading label of any of several kinds of continuous label webs. Each label web has a longitudinal series of labels of a given label length. For each label length, a corresponding value is stored in a memory. Each label has a detection mark, such as a cut, for indicating the position of the label. While a central processor energizes rollers to feed the web by steps, a detector signals adjacent detection marks, so that the central processor determines label length. The value corresponding to the label length of a label web to be printed is selected from the memory by the central processor. When the detector, which is upstream from the printer, detects a cut indicating the position of the leading label, the central processor feeds the label web to be printed a distance corresponding to the selected value. As a result, the leading label is positioned for printing by the printing head.
