Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Banddruckgerät mit einem Gehäuse (200) mit einem Bereich zur Aufnahme von mit einem Bild zu bedruckendem Band (6), mit einer Dateneingabeeinrichtung (202) zum Eingeben von Information, die das auszudruckende Bild definiert, mit einem Druckmechanismus (PM), und mit einem Motor (20), der zum Antreiben des Bandes (6) am Druckmechanismus (PM) entlang betreibbar ist. Es ist vorgeschlagen, daß die Sollgeschwindigkeit des Motors (20) von der Texthöhe und der Zeilenanzahl des Bildes abhängt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Sollgeschwindigkeit des Motors (20) von der Breite des Bandes (6) abhängen.

The invention relates to a tape printing device having a housing (200) with an area for receiving tape (6) to be printed with an image, with a data input device (202) for inputting information which defines the image to be printed, with a printing mechanism ( PM), and with a motor (20) which is operable to drive the belt (6) along the printing mechanism (PM). It is proposed that the target speed of the motor (20) depends on the text height and the number of lines in the image. Alternatively or additionally, the target speed of the motor (20) can depend on the width of the belt (6).
