Zusammenfassung:A semi-automatic garment identifier and hanger labeling system utilizes a label printer with a hanger guide to facilitate quick and error-free placement of an adhesive tag onto the hanger. The label printer is mounted in a printer frame with a guide assembly that guides the movement of a hanger in order to ensure proper placement of the tag onto the neck of a hanger. As the hanger is pushed through the guide assembly, an adhesive label is wrapped around the hanger to form a flag-type tag. A fan assembly ensures that the label is held flat on left and right label plates regardless of the remaining length of the label roll. Fingers at the back of the label plates close the adhesive label onto itself to achieve the flag-type tag shape. Software communicating with the printer and the cleaner point-of-sale system automates printing of the appropriate information on each tag.
