Processing of the signal acquired in this step.

  In the tag label producing apparatus 1 having the basic configuration as described above, the base tape 101 provided with the RFID circuit element To is conveyed by the tape feed roller 27, and information is transmitted to and received from the RFID circuit element To via the loop antenna LC. And the RFID label T is created. FIG. 10 shows a detailed procedure performed by the control circuit 110 when the tag label is created in this way. The flow of FIG. 10 is started when, for example, the operator inputs a label creation instruction from the PC 118 to the tag label creation apparatus 1.

  First, in step S105, the control circuit 110 sets print data, print length, communication data (write data) with the RFID circuit element To, half-cut position, full-cut position, and the like based on the operation signal from the PC 118. Execute the preparation process to be performed. Convenience can be improved by operating and editing information necessary for this preparation process from the PC 118.

  Next, in step S110, when communication is performed from the loop antenna LC to the RFID circuit element To in step S110, the control circuit 110 performs communication retry (retry) when there is no response from the RFID circuit element To (access). Variables M and N for counting the number of trials are initialized to 0 (see FIG. 12 described later).

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S115, where the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the conveying motor driving circuit 121 via the input / output interface 113, and the tape feeding roller 27 and the ribbon take-up roller 106 are driven by the driving force of the conveying motor 119. Drive to rotate. Further, a control signal is output to the tape discharge motor 65 via the tape discharge motor drive circuit 123 to drive the drive roller 51 to rotate. Accordingly, the base tape 101 is fed out from the first roll 102 and supplied to the tape feed roller 27, and the cover film 103 is fed out from the second roll 104. The base tape 101 and the cover film 103 are The tape feeding roller 27 and the sub roller 109 are bonded and integrated to form a tag label tape 109 with print, which is conveyed.

  Thereafter, in step S120, the control circuit 110 determines whether or not the identifier PM of the base tape 101 is detected based on the detection signal of the mark detection sensor 127 input via the input / output interface 113 (in other words, the cover film 103 is It is determined whether or not the print start position by the print head 23 has been reached. This step is repeated until the identifier PM is detected. If the identifier PM is detected, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to the next Step S125.

  In step S125, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the print drive circuit 120 via the input / output interface 113, energizes the print head 23, and enters the print area S (see FIG. 13 described later) in the cover film 103. Then, printing of the label print R such as characters, symbols, and barcodes corresponding to the print data generated in step S105 is started.

  Thereafter, in step S130, the control circuit 110 determines whether the printed tag label tape 109 has been transported to the half-cut position set in the previous step S105 (in other words, the half-cutter 34 of the half-cut mechanism 35 is moved to the half-cut line HC). It is determined whether the tag label tape 109 with print has reached the position where it faces directly. The determination at this time may be performed, for example, by detecting a transport distance after detecting the identifier PM of the base tape 101 in the above-described step S120 (transport that drives the transport motor 119 that is a pulse motor). The number of pulses output from the motor drive circuit 121 is counted).

  This step is repeated until the printed tag label tape 109 reaches the half-cut position. When the printed tag label tape 109 reaches the half-cut position, the determination in step S130 is satisfied, and the routine proceeds to the next step S135.

  In step S135, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the transport motor drive circuit 121 and the tape discharge motor drive circuit 123 via the input / output interface 113, and stops driving the transport motor 119 and the tape discharge motor 65. Then, the rotation of the tape feed roller 27, the ribbon take-up roller 106, and the drive roller 51 is stopped. As a result, in the process in which the tag label tape 109 with print fed out from the cartridge 7 moves in the discharge direction, the half cutter 34 of the half cut mechanism 35 directly faces the half cut line HC set in step S105. The feeding of the base tape 101 from the first roll 102, the feeding of the cover film 103 from the second roll 104, and the conveyance of the tag label tape 109 with print are stopped. At this time, a control signal is also output to the print drive circuit 120 via the input / output interface 113, the energization of the print head 23 is stopped, and printing of the label print R is stopped (print interruption).

  Thereafter, in step S140, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the half cutter motor drive circuit 128 via the input / output interface 113 to drive the half cutter motor 129, and rotates the half cutter 34 to print tag labels. Cover film 103, adhesive layer 101a, first tape substrate layer 101b, adhesive layer 101c, printing substrate layer 101d, adhesive layer 101e, second tape substrate layer 101f, and adhesive layer 101g Is cut to form a half-cut line HC.

  Then, the process proceeds to step S145, and the control circuit 110 resumes the conveyance of the tag label tape 109 with print by rotating the tape feeding roller 27, the ribbon take-up roller 106, and the driving roller 51 in the same manner as in step S115. In the same manner as in step S125, the print head 23 is energized to resume the printing of the label print R.

  Thereafter, in step S150, the control circuit 110 determines whether or not the printed tag label tape 109 to be transported has been transported by a predetermined value (for example, transport distance by which the RFID circuit element To reaches the loop antenna LC). . Similar to step S130, the conveyance distance at this time may be determined by counting the number of pulses output from the conveyance motor drive circuit 121 that drives the conveyance motor 119, which is a pulse motor.

  This step is repeated until the printed tag label tape 109 is conveyed by a predetermined value. When the printed tag label tape 109 is conveyed by the predetermined value, the determination at step S150 is satisfied, and the routine proceeds to the next step S200.

  In the next step S200, the control circuit 110 performs tag access processing. That is, when the RFID tag circuit element To is conveyed to the communication position (position where the RFID tag circuit element To is almost directly facing the loop antenna LC), conveyance and printing are stopped, information transmission / reception is performed, and then conveyance and printing are resumed to perform printing. Is completed (see FIG. 11 described later).

  When step S200 is completed as described above, the process proceeds to step S155 (at this time, the transport of the tag label tape 109 with print has been resumed in step S200). In step S155, the control circuit 110 determines whether or not the tag label tape 109 with print has been transported to the above-described full cut position (in other words, until the movable blade 41 of the cutting mechanism 15 faces the full cut position set in step S105). Whether the tag label tape 109 with print has arrived is determined. The determination at this time may also be detected by a predetermined known method, for example, after detecting the identifier PM of the base tape 101 in step S120 as described above. The determination is not satisfied until the full cut position is reached, and this procedure is repeated. When the full cut position is reached, the determination is satisfied, and the process proceeds to the next step S160.

  In step S160, the control circuit 110 stops the rotation of the tape feeding roller 27, the ribbon take-up roller 106, and the driving roller 51 in the same manner as in step S135, and stops the conveyance of the tag label tape 109 with print. Thereby, the base tape 101 is fed from the first roll 102 and the cover film 103 is fed from the second roll 104 with the movable blade 41 of the cutting mechanism 15 facing the full cut position set in step S105. , And the transport of the tag label tape 109 with print is stopped.

  After that, in step S165, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the cutter motor drive circuit 122 to drive the cutter motor 43, and rotates the movable blade 41 of the cutting mechanism 15, so that the tag label tape 109 with print is printed. Cover film 103, adhesive layer 101a, first tape substrate layer 101b, adhesive layer 101c, printing substrate layer 101d, adhesive layer 101e, second tape substrate layer 101f, adhesive layer 101g, and release paper 101h Is cut (divided) to form a cutting line. The label form which is separated from the tag label tape 109 with print by the cutting by the cutting mechanism 15, predetermined RFID tag information is written (or read) on the RFID circuit element To, and predetermined printing corresponding thereto is performed. RFID label T is generated.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S170, and the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the tape discharge motor drive circuit 123 via the input / output interface 113, restarts the drive of the tape discharge motor 65, and rotates the drive roller 51. As a result, the transport by the driving roller 51 is resumed, and the RFID label T generated in the label shape in step S165 is transported toward the label discharge port 11 and discharged from the label discharge port 11 to the outside of the apparatus. Exit.

  FIG. 11 shows the detailed procedure of step S200 described above.

  First, in step S210, the control circuit 110 determines whether or not the tag label tape 109 with print has been transported to the communication position with the loop antenna LC described above. The determination at this time may also be detected by a predetermined known method, for example, after detecting the identifier PM of the base tape 101 in step S120, as in step S130 of FIG. 10 described above.

  This step is repeated until the printed tag label tape 109 reaches the communication position. When the printed tag label tape 109 reaches the communication position, the determination at step S210 is satisfied, and the routine proceeds to the next step S220.

  In step S220, the control circuit 110 stops the rotation of the tape feeding roller 27, the ribbon take-up roller 106, and the driving roller 51 in the same manner as in step S135, and the loop antenna LC is substantially aligned with the RFID circuit element To. In this state, the transport of the tag label tape 109 with print stops. Further, the energization of the print head 23 is stopped, and the printing of the label print R is stopped (interrupted).

  Subsequently, in step S400, the control circuit 110 transmits and receives information by wireless communication between the loop antenna LC and the RFID circuit element To, and the above-described IC circuit unit 151 of the RFID circuit element To is shown in FIG. Information transmission / reception processing (for details, see FIG. 12 described later) is performed in which the information created in step S105 is written (or information stored in advance in the IC circuit unit 151 is read).

  In the next step S240, the control circuit 110 resumes the conveyance of the tag label tape 109 with print by rotating the tape feeding roller 27, the ribbon take-up roller 106, and the driving roller 51 in the same manner as in step S145 of FIG. At the same time, the print head 23 is energized to resume the printing of the label print R.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S250, and the control circuit 110 determines whether or not the tag label tape 109 with print has been transported to the aforementioned print end position (calculated in step S105 in FIG. 10). The determination at this time may also be detected by a predetermined known method, for example, after detecting the identifier PM in step S120, as described above. The determination is not satisfied until the print end position is reached, and this procedure is repeated. When the print end position is reached, the determination is satisfied and the routine goes to the next Step S260.

  In step S260, the control circuit 110 stops energization of the print head 23 and stops the printing of the label print R in the same manner as in step S135 of FIG. Thereby, the printing of the label print R on the print region S is completed. This routine is completed as described above.

  The above-mentioned flow is not intended to limit the present invention to the procedure shown in the above-mentioned flow, and the procedure may be added / deleted or the order may be changed without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the invention.

  FIG. 12 shows the detailed procedure of step S400 described above. In this example, information writing will be described as an example of the information writing and information reading described above.

  In FIG. 12, first in step S405, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the transmission circuit 306 via the input / output interface 113, and transmits a tag ID read command signal. That is, the transmitter circuit 306 generates a query wave (in this example, the tag ID read command signal as an inquiry signal) for acquiring the tag ID stored in the RFID circuit element To by performing predetermined modulation. To do. Then, the tag ID read command signal is transmitted to the RFID tag circuit element To to be written through the loop antenna LC. Thereby, the memory unit 157 of the RFID circuit element To is initialized.

  Thereafter, in step S415, the control circuit 110 receives the reply signal (including the tag ID) transmitted from the RFID tag circuit element To to be written in response to the tag ID read command signal via the loop antenna LC. The data is taken in via the receiving circuit 307 and the input / output interface 113.

  Next, in step S420, the control circuit 110 determines whether or not the tag ID of the RFID circuit element To has been normally read based on the received reply signal.

  If the determination is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S425, and the control circuit 110 adds 1 to M, and further determines whether M = 5 in step S430. If M ≦ 4, the determination is not satisfied and the routine returns to step S405 and the same procedure is repeated. If M = 5, the process proceeds to step S435, and the control circuit 110 outputs an error display signal to the PC 118 via the input / output interface 113 to cause a corresponding writing failure (error) display, and ends this routine. In this way, even if initialization is not successful, retry is performed up to five times.

  When the determination in step S420 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S440, and the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the transmission circuit 306 via the input / output interface 113, and transmits a Write command signal. In other words, the transmitter circuit 306 performs predetermined modulation to specify the tag ID read in step S415 and to write the desired data to the memory unit 157 of the RFID circuit element To (in this example, The above Write command signal) is generated. Then, this Write command signal is transmitted to the RFID circuit element To as an information write target via the loop antenna LC, and information is written.

  Thereafter, in step S445, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the transmission circuit 306 via the input / output interface 113, and transmits a Read command signal. In other words, the transmission circuit 306 performs predetermined modulation to specify the tag ID read in step S415 and to read the data recorded in the memory unit 157 of the RFID circuit element To (this example) Then, the above Read command signal) is generated. Then, this Read command signal is transmitted to the RFID circuit element To as the information writing target via the loop antenna LC to prompt a reply.

  Thereafter, in step S450, the control circuit 110 receives the reply signal transmitted from the RFID tag circuit element To to be written in response to the Read command signal via the loop antenna LC and takes it in via the reception circuit 307.

  Next, in step S455, the control circuit 110 confirms the information stored in the memory unit 157 of the RFID circuit element To based on the received reply signal, and a known error detection code (CRC code; Cyclic Using the Redundancy Check or the like, it is determined whether or not the above-described predetermined information transmitted is normally stored in the memory unit 157.

  If it is not stored normally, the determination is not satisfied, the process moves to step S460, the control circuit 110 adds 1 to N, and further, it is determined whether N = 5 in step S465. If N ≦ 4, the determination is not satisfied and the routine returns to step S440 and the same procedure is repeated. If N = 5, the process proceeds to step S435 described above, and the control circuit 110 similarly displays a write failure (error) display corresponding to the PC 118, and ends this routine. In this way, even if information writing is not successful, retry is performed up to five times.

  If the storage has been performed normally in step S455, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to step S470. In step S470, the control circuit 110 outputs a control signal to the transmission circuit 306 and transmits a lock command signal. In other words, the transmission circuit 306 performs a predetermined modulation to specify the tag ID read in step S415 and to interrogate the data recorded in the memory unit 157 of the RFID circuit element To. (In this example, the lock command signal is generated). Then, the lock command signal is transmitted to the RFID circuit element To as the information writing target via the loop antenna LC, and writing of new information to the RFID circuit element To is prohibited. This completes the writing of information to the RFID circuit element To to be written.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S480, where the control circuit 110 prints the information written in the RFID circuit element To in step S440 and the label print R which has already been printed in the print area S by the print head 23 corresponding to this information. The combination with the information is output via the input / output interface 113 and the communication line NW, and stored in the information server IS or the route server RS. This stored data is stored and held in the database of each server IS, RS, for example, so that it can be referred to from the PC 118 as necessary. This routine is completed as described above.

  In this case, steps S440 to S470 in FIG. 12 may be omitted, and the tag ID and the wireless tag information may be acquired based on the reply signal in step S415. Thereafter, in step S480, the combination of the print information and the read RFID tag information may be saved.

In the cover film 103, the area on the rear end side (right side in FIG. 13) of the half-cut line HC in the tape longitudinal direction is a print area S on which the label print R is printed, and the half-cut line HC is sandwiched from the print area S. The front end side of the tape in the longitudinal direction (left side in FIG. 13) is the front margin area S1.

  In the tag label producing apparatus 1 having the configuration described above, the base tape 101 and the cover film 103 provided with the RFID circuit element To are conveyed by the tape feed roller 27, and are applied to the RFID circuit element To via the loop antenna LC. Information is transmitted and received, and printing is performed on the cover film 103, and the RFID label T is created. At this time, positioning of the base tape 101 and the cover film 103 is necessary for transport control and print control performed along with the transport.

Can do. As a result, positioning and conveyance control of the base tape 101 and printing control can be performed with high accuracy.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the second tape 101 </ b> B is made of an infrared transmitting material that transmits infrared light as detection light of the mark sensor 127.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the first tape 101A has an adhesive layer 101a for bonding a cover film 103 provided with a printable printing surface on the bonding side. Thus, the tag label tape 109 with print for producing the RFID tag T with print can be formed by attaching the cover film 103 to the base tape 101 via the adhesive layer 101a. Moreover, since the printing surface is on the bonding side, the printing surface is hidden between the tapes after bonding. As a result, the durability of printing on the created RFID label T is improved.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101g and the release paper 101h are made of a permeable material. Thereby, in the produced RFID label T, the RFID label T can be attached to the object to be attached by removing the release paper 101h and exposing the adhesive layer 101g.

Tape 109 can be formed. Moreover, since the printing surface is on the bonding side, the printing surface is hidden between the tapes after bonding. As a result, printing durability is improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described in order.

(1) In the case where the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM are arranged oppositely in the above embodiment, the RFID circuit element To is disposed on one side in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d (upper side in FIG. 14). Although the identification mark PM is provided on the other side (the lower side in FIG. 14) in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d, the arrangement may be reversed. That is, the identification mark PM may be provided on one side of the printing base material layer 101d in the tape thickness direction, and the RFID circuit element To may be provided on the other side of the printing base material layer 101d in the tape thickness direction.

  FIG. 15A shows a cross-sectional view of the tag label T of the present modification according to the XIVA-XIVA ′ cross section in FIG. 13, and FIG. 15B shows the XIVB-XIVB in FIG. 13 of the tag label T of the present modification. 'Shows a cross-sectional view corresponding to a cross-section

  As shown in these drawings, in this modification, the RFID circuit element To is on one side (upper side in FIG. 15) in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d where the identification mark PM is on the first tape 101A side. It is provided on the other side (the lower side in FIG. 15) in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d on the second tape 101B side. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101a, the first tape base material layer 101b, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101c constituting the first tape 101A are made of a transparent material that transmits the detection light for detecting the identification mark PM by the mark sensor 127. It is configured.

  Thereby, in this modification, the mark sensor 127 is provided on one side (the lower side in FIG. 4 and the upper side in FIG. 15) in the tape thickness direction of the tag label tape 109 with print. The identification mark PM provided on one side in the tape thickness direction of the layer 101d can be detected through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101a, the first tape base material layer 101b, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101c made of the above-described permeable material. It is possible.

(2) When the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM are formed in the same direction In the above embodiment, the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM are arranged on one side in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d (FIG. 14). Although provided on the middle upper side and the other side (lower side in FIG. 14), the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM may be formed in the same direction.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of the appearance of the RFID label T of this modification, and FIG. 17 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the XVII-XVII ′ section in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, in this modification, an IC circuit portion 151 and a tag-side antenna 152 are provided on the surface of the printing base material layer 101d on the other side in the tape thickness direction (the lower side in FIG. 17). The RFID circuit element To is formed by printing, and an identification mark PM for transport control is provided by printing. At this time, in order to prevent the tag side antenna 152 and the identification mark PM from overlapping each other, the identification mark PM is provided in the tag side antenna 152 in the example shown in this figure. Note that the position of the identification mark PM is not limited to this, and may be provided at other positions, for example, outside the tag-side antenna 152 as long as the tag-side antenna 152 and the identification mark PM do not overlap.

  At this time, the adhesive layer 101e, the second tape base material layer 101f, the adhesive layer 101g, and the release paper 101h constituting the second tape 101B are identified by the mark sensor 127 as in the embodiment described above. It is comprised with the transparent material which permeate | transmits the detection light for detecting. As a result, the mark sensor 127 provided on the other side in the tape thickness direction of the tag label tape 109 with print (the upper side in FIG. 4 and the lower side in FIG. 17) uses the detected light in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d. The identification mark PM provided on the other side can be detected via the release paper 101h, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101g, the second tape base material layer 101f, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101e made of the above-described transmissive material. It has become.

  At this time, the identification mark PM is printed on the printing base material layer 101d using the ink that absorbs the detection light from the mark sensor 127, as in the above-described embodiment. As a result, since the detection light from the mark sensor 127 is absorbed by the identification mark PM (is not reflected and returned), the identification mark PM can be reliably detected by this behavior. On the other hand, the RFID circuit element To is printed using non-absorbing ink with respect to the detection light, as in the above-described embodiment, and the detection light from the mark sensor 127 passes through the RFID circuit element To. The light is transmitted and reliably reflected by the printing base material layer 101d itself. As a result, even when the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM are formed in the same direction as in the present modification, the RFID circuit element To itself at the time of detection of the identification mark PM (in particular, the tag-side antenna 152). Can be reliably prevented.

  In the above description, the case where the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM are provided on the other side (the lower side in FIG. 17) in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d has been described as an example. Instead, the RFID circuit element To and the identification mark PM may be provided on one side of the printing base material layer 101d in the tape thickness direction (upper side in FIG. 17). In this case, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101a, the first tape base material layer 101b, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101c constituting the first tape 101A are made of a transparent material, and the mark sensor 127 is made of a tape thickness of the tag label tape 109 with print. By providing near the tip of the arrow A on the one side in the direction (the lower side in FIG. 5), the identification mark PM provided on the one side in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d is made of the transparent material by the detection light. It becomes possible to detect through the configured pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101a, the first tape base material layer 101b, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101c.

(3) In the case where the printing base material layer is made of a transmissive material In the above embodiment, the printing base material layer 101d is shielded (reflected in this example) by detection light for detecting the identification mark PM by the mark sensor 127. Although it is configured of a shielding material (reflective material in this example), it is not limited thereto, and the printing base material layer 101d may be configured of a transmissive material that transmits detection light.

  The layer configuration in this case is the same as the layer configuration shown in FIG. However, in this modification, as described above, the printing base material layer 101d is made of a transmissive material that transmits detection light from the mark sensor 127, and the first tape base material layer 101b is made of a reflective material. Note that the adhesive layer 101e, the second tape base layer 101f, the adhesive layer 101g, and the release paper 101h of the second tape 101B are made of a transparent material, and the RFID circuit element To is based on the mark sensor 127. The point formed by printing using ink that is non-absorbing with respect to the detection light, and the identification mark PM is provided by printing using ink (for example, carbon ink) that is absorbing with respect to the detection light. This is the same as in the previous embodiment. As a result, the mark sensor 127 provided on the other side in the tape thickness direction of the tag label tape 109 with print (upper side in FIG. 4, lower side in FIG. 14) uses the detection light to detect the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d. The identification mark PM provided on the other side can be detected via the release paper 101h, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101g, the second tape base material layer 101f, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101e made of the above-described transmissive material. It has become.

(4) When tape bonding is not performed In the above embodiment, a so-called laminate type label is created by printing on a cover film 103 different from the base tape 101 provided with the RFID circuit element To and bonding them together. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to the case of creating a so-called non-laminate type label that directly prints on a cover film provided on a tag tape.

  FIG. 18 shows the detailed structure of the cartridge 7 'of this modification. In FIG. 18, the same parts as those in FIG.

In this example, the heat-sensitive tape 101 'wound around the first roll 102' has an eight-layer structure (see a partially enlarged view in FIG. 18), and the opposite side from the side wound inside (the left side in FIG. 18). (Right side in FIG. 18) It is composed of a heat-sensitive layer 101a ′ (printed layer) composed of a heat-sensitive agent that develops color by heat, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), etc. A substantially tape-shaped first tape base material layer 101b ′ provided on one side in the thickness direction (left side in FIG. 18) and an appropriate pressure-sensitive adhesive, the printing base material layer 101d ′ and the first tape base material layer 101b ′.

An adhesive layer 101g ′ (adhesive layer for application) for adhering the printing base material layer 101d ′ to the object to be applied, and the application side of the adhesive layer 101g ′ (right side in FIG. 18) ) Are provided in order of release paper (release material layer) 101h ′ provided so as to cover. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101a ′, the first tape base material layer 101b ′, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101c ′ constitute the first tape 101A ′, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 101e ′, the second tape base material layer 101f ′, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The agent layer 101g ′ and the release paper 101h ′ constitute the second tape 101B ′.

  The adhesive layer 101e ′, the second tape base layer 101f ′, the adhesive layer 101g ′, and the release paper 101h ′ constituting the second tape 101B ′ are detected by the mark sensor 127 for detecting the identification mark PM. It is made of a transmissive material that transmits light.

Is provided by printing. Thereby, the mark sensor 127 uses the detection light to change the identification mark PM provided on the other side in the tape thickness direction of the printing base material layer 101d ′ to the release paper 101h ′ made of the transmissive material, the adhesive layer. It is possible to detect through 101g ′, the second tape base layer 101f ′, and the adhesive layer 101e ′.

  When the cartridge 7 ′ having the above configuration is mounted on the cartridge holder 6 and the roller holder 25 (not shown in FIG. 18) is moved from the separation position to the contact position, the thermal tape 101 ′ is moved between the print head 23 and the platen roller 26. In addition, it is held between the tape feed roller 27 'and the sub-roller 28'. Then, the tape feed roller 27 ′, the sub roller 28 ′, and the platen roller 26 rotate in synchronization, and the thermal tape 101 ′ is fed out from the first roll 102 ′.

  The drawn thermal tape 101 'is supplied to the print head 23 on the downstream side in the transport direction.
