LABEL FORMING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a label forming apparatus which can surely guide a width direction of a printing tape. SOLUTION: A guide surface 22A of an extending part 22 is set between a first bending position P4 where a transfer route is bent first after the printing tape is drawn out from a roll 3 and a platen roller position P6 on the transfer route of the printing tape 3A. A position of the transfer route of the printing tape 3A becomes constant at the first bending position P4. Even if the transfer route of the printing tape 3A immediately after drawn out from the roll varies due to change of the roll peripheral diameter, it is limited to the transfer route from a drawing position to the first bending position P4, and the transfer route of a downstream side from the first bending position P4 is prevented from varying. In consequence, the width direction can be guided at a part which becomes a constant route regardless of the roll peripheral diameter. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
